Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut

You play a masked survivor trying to escape a city ravaged by disease. Starving and exhausted, he struggles to tell what is real as he explores its decaying streets and buildings. Search for supplies, experiment with or craft items, and manage food and sleep. You can sneak past enemies or fight them, and choose whether to seek out other survivors or make the escape alone. Your choices affect the story and the protagonist’s mental state. The game includes optional side-quests and different paths through the story, with variations and multiple endings.

Guide a masked survivor through a diseased city, scavenging, sneaking or fighting as hunger and a wavering grip on reality shape escape.

The masked protagonist must escape from a city ravaged by disease, by any means necessary. Starving and exhausted, he has begun to question how much of what he sees is even real.

How to survive is up to YOU. Sneak through without firing a single shot, or kill everything in your path. Eat and sleep well, or resort to drugs to keep going. Search for survivors, or try to escape the city alone. Look after your mental health, or descend into madness...

Lone Survivor is unusual mix of survival horror, stealth mechanics, adventure games, a virtual pet, a physical and psychological survival simulation and a truly interactive story. The player is encouraged to role-play and forget about the game's workings, while the story moulds to match the player's actions. This is a game where your choices genuinely matter.

The Director's Cut Edition of the game now includes a great deal of new content, new lighting engine and other graphical and audio enhancements, and the two new endings and three new side-quests also seen in the recent PlayStation releases. The update is FREE to existing customers.
