Upon arrival in Moresby, they follow church bells to reach a Church of survivors that are under attack by zombies. After finally agreeing, they leave with Jin to travel to Moresby. After defending the workshop, the mechanic makes them promise to take his daughter, Jin, with them to protect her, as he's been bitten and will soon turn.

After escaping the Hotel with it, they take it to a mechanic to be armoured up to be an unstoppable tank. To this end, they return to the Hotel and, with the assistance of a security guard, they manage to make their way to the Hotel parking garage and recover an armoured truck. However, it's not enough and they will eventually need to go to the main city on the island to find more food, the City of Moresby. From here, they assist the survivors by getting supplies, gas, food and drink to sustain them, as well as a more powerful radio receiver to try and reach a voice who has been contacting them via the radio. They awaken in a beach hut with a group of survivors, and after helping defend the hut from zombies, they assist the survivors moving to the more secure Lifeguard Tower. They manage to escape a group of them while being guided by a voice via the Hotel speaker system before being knocked out by a zombie. Upon awakening, the heroes find the Hotel deserted and overrun by strange people, the infected. After passing out in his room, we are taken to one of the rooms of the heroes, who also made their way to their rooms after the party. On the way, he meets the playable Heroes of the game, in order of Logan Carter, Sam B, Purna Jackson and Xian Mei. The game begins with the opening cutscene, following an unnamed drunken guest as he stumbles around the Hotel on his way to Sam B's party. Heaven has become Hell, and for those who still cling to life, there is only one thing left to do: survive. But something evil has arrived in paradise, spreading chaos, madness, and death. For many, it is Heaven on Earth - a place of peace and pristine beauty where travellers can leave the worries and cares of the workday world behind. From the lush rain forests to the mountain highlands to the white sandy beaches, Banoi is considered the pearl in the necklace of the Oceania Archipelago. The island of Banoi, just off the coast of Papua New Guinea, is a wild and untamed paradise, virtually untouched by modern civilizations. Dead Island runs on Techland's in-house Chrome Engine 5, the same which powers Call of Juarez: The Cartel video game. The game uses a first-person perspective however, the developers are claiming that the game should not be labelled a first-person shooter because it has a bigger emphasis on melee combat and ammunition conservation, rather than a shoot 'em up. It is an open-world game centered on surviving on a zombie-infested Banoi Island.
