WHAT DOES DEADLIGHT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Deadlight

Deadlight is a 2012 sidescrolling survival horror/cinematic platforming video game for Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows, developed by Tequila Works and published by Microsoft Studios. It was released for Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade on August 1, and for Windows via Steam on October 25. In 2014, Deadlight was available for free to Xbox Live Gold subscribers from April 16-30. Set in Seattle in 1986, the game tells the story of Randall Wayne, a former park ranger who sets out to find his family in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. Intended as a throwback to the classic sidescrolling games of the 1980s and early 1990s, such as Prince of Persia, Another World and Flashback, Deadlight received mixed reviews, with many critics praising the graphics, atmosphere and plot, but criticizing the game's controls, brevity and linearity.
