Dexter iPhone Game Gets Detailed

Marc Ecko Entertainment and Showtime Networks dished out a few extra details on the upcoming iPhone game based on the hit Showtime series, Dexter. Accrording to the announcement, the upcoming game will be “investigative” in style and developed by Icarus Studios.

In case you’ve missed the show, getting ready to start its third season, Dexter is the story of Dexter Morgan, a forensic blood spatter expert for the Miami Dade Police Department who happens to secretly be a serial killer who hunts down people who have escaped justice. The iPhone based on the show will be a mystery game emphasizing investigation and problem solving. The player will analyze crime scenes, uncover evidence, and choose which brand of justice best suits the situation: the courts or the “Dark Passenger” (the nickname Dexter has given to his darker side). The effectiveness of every choice and interaction revolves around the Code of Harry: only kill the guilty, maintain the Mask, and, above all, don’t get caught. The game is now in development with Icarus Studios, a company that is leading the way in massively multiplayer online games, virtual worlds, and mobile entertainment experiences.
