Controversial Island Survival Game Called 'Epstein' Shocks Gamers

On 16th February, a new game was released, surprising the community, making it blink twice to see if the name seemed right. Called Epstein, this is an action game which is an island survival fiasco. It encourages players to build their base with friends in the mysterious and dangerous world of Epstein. You will have to battle bosses and team up with other survivors to confront the final boss "Jefry."

Epstein has already caused uproar amongst a number of people online on social media platforms. This is because players have realized that the game bears a slight resemblance between some of its characters and those of real-life people.

Epstein Game & It's Bizarre Bosses

First of all, there is no mistaking that the intention behind the game and the names of its characters. It seems like the developer wanted to capture the attention of the public and has now done exactly that with Epstein.

Firstly, the publisher described the game as: "Survive a mysterious island and thwart the sinister plans of Jefry in "Epstein". Battle the blood-dependent morbiders and forge alliances with other survivors to confront Jefry in his grand temple. Master survival tactics and strategic gameplay in this intense adventure."

During this action adventure game, you will also go face-to-face against other mini-bosses, namely Clintin, Havking, and Minwell. The gameplay is pretty straightforward: You explore an island and uncover its dark secrets and go on dangerous missions.

You will have to kill various creatures on Epstein Island to reach the three Mini Bosses who are located in different regions of the island. Upon defeating them, they will drop items.

By killing these mini bosses, you will gain strength and you would have gathered enough resources to defeat the final Boss, Jefry, the ruler of the Epstein Island.

The game adds, "However, be careful and improve your base with your friends on the island and launch attacks. Find the magic elements in the hidden areas of the island and use them! MJ's found within the island will assist you; seek their help instead of trying to harm them, as they will be your allies!"

Twitter user Mutahar joked, "game of the year drops in less than 24 hours," and posted a screengrab of the game's Steam page. Another user commented, "Palworld but instead of capturing Pals you avoid being captured."

Some of the comments on Epstein's Steam page also joked about the premise of the game. One wrote, "Just went inside a portal then it took me to havking's house. its peak."
