Can You Spot Real-Life Manchester Locations In New E3 Videogame?

A bleeding, survival horror sci-fi called 'Beyond Flesh and Blood' is an indie game - set entirely in Manchester - arriving this year and just announced for ID@Xbox at E3.

Slightly different angle...but fairly good job so far!

Apparently there are screechers - and those are their lovely alien...eggs? Poos?

Here's the real secret Manchester nuclear bunker.

Real underground tunnels. Apparently, if it all goes wrong and we hit a dystopian glitch in our history of human civilisation, Manchester was one of the first cities that the UK would save. Mint.

That brickwork is rather marvellous.

So there you have it. Scaled down – or up – Manchester, set 200 years in the future...

...depending on how you look at it.

There's a demo that you can download for free from the developer's website, which is set in Albert Square (not Eastenders! There's an Albert Square in Manchester!) and over down Deansgate, and we couldn't help but find all the city centre kill spots as above.

Which ones can you find?
