DEATH IN UNISON

At the Corton Island Institute, you take on prison duties as an administrator or security officer. In co-op, the two players work from separate rooms and rely on walkie-talkie communication; the shift can also be played solo.

During each day, process inmate information and handle office and security tasks while dangerous convicts threaten you. Electrical outages add pressure as you juggle duties and try to survive.

Progress through increasingly demanding shifts, use credits to buy items, and investigate the prison by accessing its network. Emails, files, and puzzles reveal information about the inmates and the institute.

In the supplied reviews, players often praise the radio-based teamwork, tense scares, and the challenge of keeping up with multiple duties while a partner handles a different role. Many also enjoy uncovering the prison’s lore through emails and puzzles. Common caveats include the short campaign, reports of poor performance, and, for some players, the amount of reading required to learn threats and procedures.
