TML Studios Invites Players to Experience Photo-Realistic Survival Adventure in Dead Man’s Diary
German indie dev TML-STUDIOS announced today a March 30, 2022, release date for their upcoming post-apocalyptic survival-adventure title, Dead Man’s Diary. Utilizing TML’s many years of expertise with the Unreal Engine, Dead Man’s Diary is a gorgeous narrative-driven experience that spans multiple genres — taking survival and crafting elements and blending them with a strong narrative, clever puzzles, and a thrilling mystery to solve. The game also features high-quality audio production that allows the backstory to unfold via the main character’s internal monologue and diary entries set to evocative music.
Dead Man’s Diary puts players in the shoes of a nameless survivor who must navigate the remains of a land ravaged by nuclear war. Survivors must stay sharp and survive this hostile world by crafting items and finding safe places to eat and sleep — all without the use of weapons. Uncover the secrets of this deadly and dangerous world by solving realistic puzzles and piecing together an enthralling story via fully-scored diary entries and the words of the main character.
