About Dead Man's Diary 

The player takes on the role of a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world scarred by nuclear destruction. In search of food, shelter and answers, the protagonist explores a hostile environment filled with deadly dangers, secrets and a grippingly told story. The game offers a unique blend of survival mechanics such as crafting and exploration, as well as a compelling story and gripping puzzles.

Dead Man's Diary is a heartfelt project of our team, and we are thrilled to announce the game for current Xbox consoles,“ said Thomas Langelotz, CEO and founder of TML Studios. „The Xbox version of the game offers a streamlined gameplay experience with revamped gameplay and technical improvements designed specifically for Xbox consoles.

The technical implementation of Dead Man's Diary on the Xbox consoles is made possible thanks to the Unreal Engine, which has already been used in previous projects by TML-Studios. Players can look forward to detailed settings, including dark forests, ruined cities and abandoned industrial complexes. The story is intensified by diary entries and soliloquies by the protagonist. In addition, the high-quality audio production will immerse players in the dark atmosphere of the post-apocalyptic world.
