Romeo Is a Deadman Story
Romeo Is a Dead Man is a re-telling of the classic tragedy “Romeo & Juliet”. But instead of taking place in 14th century Verona, our journey begins in Deadford Pennsylvania.
You control Romeo Stargazer, a police officer on the brink of death after nearly being killed by a monster known as a White Demon. Fortunately, he’s saved by his time-traveling grandfather, Benjamin, and his DeadGear Life Support System. The device prevents Romeo from dying and transforms him into DeadMan.
The FBI’s Space-Time Police recruits Romeo to help them stop those taking advantage of the situation at hand. DeadMan must now search for criminals while also looking for clues about the disappearance of his Juliet.
Romeo isn’t alone, though. Benjamin, now deceased, lives on in the form of a 2D patch on Romeo’s back. With Romeo’s strength and his grandfather’s intelligence, the two must team up in an epic time-traveling, action-packed story.
