There are flashes of Glass Onion and The Menu here, but I was reminded just as much of the eerier parts of Bioshock, that underwater monument to crackpot billionaires with far too much time on their hands. Here’s a video of the opening.

There’s some backstory onthe official Dead Island 2 websitein which a reporter warns us that “if you receive an invitation to Haus - however curious you are, whatever promises are made - do NOT go.”

The Haus expansion also includes eight new skill cards with which to customise your zombie slayer, and at least two new weapons: a scoped crossbow for discreet head-popping, and a Hog Roaster for less discreet incendiary cleaving. I can take or leave those, I reckon.
Haus is but the first Dead Island 2 DLC pack.The second, SOLA Festival, lands next year. Rick’sDead Island 2 reviewremains the best one I’ve read.
