John Morgan's Diary are a series of collectable recorded diary entries in Dead Island: Riptide. There are a total of 10 recordings in the series. Although the recordings are rendered as files in first person by the Hero, each diary is actually an audio recording. The different diary entries can be viewed via the Collectables in-game menu and are eligible collectables used to gain the achievement The Collector, and required to gain the achievement The Hoarder. The contents of the recordings take place prior to the events in Dead Island: Riptide and follow ADF sergeant John Morgan as he experiences the infection first hand with the army before being taken to the HMAS Avenger.
