Popular television show Dexter has received a video game make-over, with Ecko Code and Showtime Networks announcing that the Dexter Slice of Life game is now available to play on Facebook.
“Dexter Slice of Life shows how social play online is evolving – this is a deep transmedia experience that both gamers and fans of the show will love,” said Marc Fernandez, EVP of Development at Ecko Code.
“People can play anytime as Dexter or their own custom made ‘Dark Passenger.’ Dexter is a brilliant, complex show that asks as many questions as it answers, and this game is an extension of that,” he added.
Developed internally at Ecko Code, the “real-time stealth” gameplay in Dexter Slice of Life perfectly captures the precision and cautious nature of Dexter’s methodical stalking.
This “asynchronous” multiplayer experience will allow players to control their “Dark Passenger” avatar to silence their friends’ sometimes evil in-game personas – even when they are not online – and become the vigilant watchman of the weak and downtrodden.
The game can be played at http://apps.facebook.com/dextersliceoflife.
