Shutter Island Now Available for
PC
Casual PC Game Inspired by
Paramount Pictures’ Upcoming Thriller, Shutter Island
Merscom and Paramount Digital
Entertainment announced today’s release of Shutter Island, a hidden object,
casual adventure game inspired by the upcoming Paramount Pictures’ feature film.
Now available for Windows, the game is being launched in conjunction with the
film’s theatrical release.
From Oscar-winning director Martin
Scorsese, Shutter Island tells the story of two U.S. Marshals, Teddy Daniels and
Chuck Aule, who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the coast of
Massachusetts in 1954 to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess
from Ashecliffe, the island’s fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.
In the Shutter Island game, players
take on the role of Marshal Daniels and search Shutter Island to try to find the
escaped murderess. As the game progresses players attempt to locate other
patients who have disappeared during the hurricane.
Players find clues and messages
across seven levels and 20 environments, creating unique interactions with
characters from the film. The game also contains multiple mini-games that allow
players to decode clues and unlock secret areas of the institution. The game
reflects the plot of the film, while introducing players to new patients and
quests inspired by the film.
“Shutter Island is a fantastic
story, it is perfect for a casual game and we are confident the market will love
it as well as the movie,” said Lloyd Melnick, Chief Customer Officer at Merscom.
Shutter Island is now available on
Windows PC and is rated T for teen by the ESRB. The game is available on major
game portals, including Big Fish Games, Real Arcade, Reflexive.com and iWin.
