A shipload of convicts on a British frigate, bound for the far colonies, seize their chance for freedom when the HMS Glory is caught in a tropical storm. But in the chaos the ship is smashed on the reef and only a handful of survivors are washed ashore…

We've got hardened guttersnipes in uneasy alliance with “political” prisoners like religious dissidents and fallen nobles. Plus their former jailers, the crew, are the only people who know how to sail a ship if they even had one.

Good trouble, right? Lots of conflict. One more thing: the island is the home of a ravenous monster, a man-eating Tyrannosaurus Rex that escaped extinction. It’s a King Kong on skull island-scenario, but with colonial muskets and a handful of cutlasses.

Geiger Counter is a game where most of the characters die and we lived up to that promise. Spoiler: crime does not pay. And that T-Rex can smell blood like a hound dog, apparently.
