I had finished Dead in Vinland when I decided to pull the trigger on Dead in Bermuda. Which was a good lesson why a little research before buying a game (even if it's only 2€ on sale) is never a bad idea. Dead in Vinland is a beautiful, complex and challenging survival game. Dead in Bermuda is punishment. In short, this is a raw, brutal and completely unfair survival management game with some ridiculous mechanics. …

Dead In Bermuda is a game with an interesting concept, but one that is poorly executed. Technically, it’s a survival game with narrative elements. During the day, you manage resources and assign tasks to your characters while also exploring the island. At the end of the day, the survivors discuss what has happened. Each character has their own skills, and relationships between them directly affect the efficiency of …

Dead in Bermuda really caught me off guard. It’s got that Oregon Trail sort of charm where every decision feels like it could spell disaster, and sometimes it actually does Bob even died of dysentery in one of my runs, which was a bit too on the nose. It’s a surprisingly strong effort from a small studio, and while it’s not perfect, it’s absolutely worth a play. What I like most is how distinct and full of …

This game left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the concept is great: surviving on a mysterious island, managing a group of people while balancing not only resources but also their psychological states. The hand-drawn art style looks nice, and the characters have distinct personalities with some amusing dialogues. On the other hand, the gameplay quickly turns repetitive. Day after day you’re doing the same …

A management survival game with lots of randomness and handcrafted dialogue/dynamics between characters. Because of the way all stats influence each other, you end up in slowly escalating situations that through some unwise decisions or bad luck can become unwinnable. But I don't think that's a bad thing! You notice how the characters slowly struggle more and more to find food, stay hopeful and stay rested directly …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hopefully its worth the $0.00 that I spent on it Just completed the game. Took about 10 hours from start to finish, though I restarted at one point so my whole playtime was longer. Short version: I liked it. It’s got a nice visual style. It falls somewhere in between a casual game and one of those that takes forever to learn and takes over your lfe. It's definitely more complex, difficult and well-made than a casual game. I was impressed by the way everything was presented in a very…

neutral · AI labelView post →I quite enjoyed Dead in Vinland so I thought I'd give this a go. Unfortunately there were many small quality of life things that added up to a really annoying and tedious gameplay loop. It also doesn't have the same interesting theming Vinland did to prop up its dull characters, though I suppose that is subject to personal taste

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm more neutral about the game than anything else; the game isn't BAD, but I wouldn't really say it's GOOD either. I still enjoyed it and still plan to put a few more hours into it, but only passively. - Several stations deteriorate when they don't need to. Research, crafting and scavenging stations, for example, only deteriorate for the sake of making things harder on you than they already are and make very little sense otherwise. They also deteriorate rapidly, which makes it incredibly…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Repetitive, unimaginative and lacking everything realley. Its a point and click adventure with "survival?" aspects. there is no survival, just getting to the end of the game. besides the story line encounters i thing there are only 7 general encounters. Small game, weak gameplay, every scene looks the same.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 got it for free, worth every penny
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eight survivors, one island, and apparently zero common sense. Hunger, sickness, drama—my team turned survival into a soap opera. I managed tasks, they managed chaos. I came for adventure, stayed for passive-aggressive arguments and accidental deaths. 🏝️💀 Follow my curator page for more survivors mismanaged, camps burned, and sanity lost! 🛍️✨ https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42602807-Osiris-Reviews/

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- Dead In Bermuda is harder than Dead in Vinland (normal vs normal difficulty), but it's not that complex. - Character needs are still there and need to be thoroughly managed. - Map events are simple with no other big implications behind - This game and Vinland complement each other's story, but it's not mandatory to play both I suggest you try the demo first to see how things go. Considering that now, during 25's Summer sale the price is reduced by 90%, I would consider it a steal! Vinland…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That was a pretty unforgiving and unfulfilling game tbh. Some good art direction and ideas, I can appreciate it in theory, but Dead in Vinland was by far a more realised and fuller version of this. I will never be revisiting it.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead In Bermuda is an odd resource management survival game. The difficulty curve is waay too steep without enough time to learn the huge amount of details you need to control. In a turn you will have to assign characters to different roles while evaluating their attributes, for example if someone needs sleep you'll have to gauge how much rest they'll get depending on their constitution, if they can recover a lot then it may be better to make them work more, however you need to think of who…

Maybe later i would be able to play and understand but today it was very strange. I CAN NOT RECOMMEND TO MY FRIEND NOR MY GRANDMA.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead in Bermuda is a survival management game. The game follows a group of eight plane crash survivors as they struggle to survive on a remote tropical island. As time wears on, the survivors learn about each other, make friends (or enemies), and reveal their stories of why they were on the plane in the first place, and what their motivations truly are. It’s the video game version of the more melodramatic elements of Lost, basically. However, it’s not the plot I find most interesting about…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The default setting for the game is normal, which is almost like a huge RNG machine. It sets the perks your character's start with randomly. Some of these on normal difficulty are instant restart. (Depdressed, bulemy, hidden illness(!!!), and a few such.) You need to gather resources and build up your working stations, and produce food. There are gatherers who produce fruits which can be eatern or used to get juice (water). Each day everyone requires one unit of water. 1 fruit produces 3-5 %…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I started Dead in Bermuda. It's a point-and-click survival game. I really like the art style too. I've somehow managed to survive until Day 14 😅😂 it's so stressful to keep these people alive LOL
positive · AI labelView post →It's difficult at first, but then you read the descriptions of each stat and select each survivor based on their stats. You can also abuse loading saves to ensure consumables, like the crossword puzzle, provide you with the maximum bonuses you need.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To put it simply, it's just too boring: + the mystery of the island is interesting - the games normal difficulty requires you to have guide level experience to survive - the gameplay loop consist of putting characters in circles and watching animations play - can't skip the end of turn animations, you can only speed them up negligibly - no combat - everything is a dice roll, this game can be very frustrating - all personal traits and stats are almost completely randomized ( this combined with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Get a refund if you can..Everyone will just die without food..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would be a great game if there was some sort of balance. No matter what you do you will die so don't waste your time. Follow the Tutorial you die. Follow a walk through you die. Try to work out what is needed you die. This game works on a random stats at the start. If the stats don't match what the devs designed you die. Starting again and again without playing to get good stats is not fun. I f the devs can't get a simple free text game working so it is fun I will never buy a game from them.…

Balancing food, crafting, exploration, and fragile group dynamics keeps tension high, with story-driven events adding depth and replay value. - ⭐ Rating: 7/10 – Engaging survival with strong character drama, though the micromanagement can feel demanding. - Video Gameplay - https://youtu.be/Rxg8YYiaVok - Follow my curator page - https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45547027/

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good game, but I cannot recommend it due to the sequel being vastly superior. Dead in Bermuda was still interesting to play, even though I played Vinland first. Got this on a deep discount, so decided to give it a go. Took me three attempts to beat it. Buy this instead: https://store.steampowered.com/app/573120/Dead_In_Vinland/ I'm looking forward to their third game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fingers crossed this $0.00 investment pays off
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The constant micromanaging and resource juggling get old fast, and the characters, who should make things interesting, end up as dull as the endless menus you’ll be clicking through. It never really pays off. Instead of feeling stranded and desperate, you just feel tired and bored, kinda like the final seasons of Lost.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little game. I wish it were a rouge-lite instead of a rouge-like, though. Or it had difficulty levels. Still, the game is lots of fun as you try to race to getting enough food prep equipment before the death spiral sets in. It has the tragic quality of RimWorld.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 got it for free, worth every penny
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cool concept killed by a bad RNG 60% stealth failing 3 out of 4 times some random event happening at night that make them hating each others without you being able to do anything about it. Not clear what you get from the action.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring management sim wearing a survival game costume. 2/10, would rather actually be stranded on an island.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At first it seems interesting, but after half the game it turns into a rather dull clicker, in which all the action happens too slowly, what was the problem with making just one short summary for the day, and not showing 5 seconds of each character
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There’s a lot to like interesting survival mechanics and tough decision-making but it also has rough patches. A mixed bag, but the good moments stand out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprisingly a good game that I got for free. Very fun, addicting, and challenging that will make you worry about your characters and think twice before every decision.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead in Bermuda ★★☆☆☆ Dead in Bermuda feels like a sliver of a better game, and it's likely not worth your time. The game starts after a passenger plane crashes on a island, you must manage a group of survivors by deciding what they should do with their time, and more importantly, who they spend that time with, "relationships" as the game calls it, are just as, if not more significant than the RPG-like list of skills characters have, good rapport can cover for an unskilled participant, letting…
