Texas, 1980. Walton City has fallen to a zombie outbreak, and escape is the only chance for survival. 

Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days is a side-scrolling shelter survival game that tasks players with guiding a group of desperate survivors from refuge to refuge in an attempt to get everyone out of the city alive. 

Scavenge for supplies, craft tools and weapons, fight off the dead, and keep moving as the zombie threat closes in. While their experiences will lead survivors to gain new skills, players will also need to manage their physical and psychological needs because in this world, there are no second chances — and death is permanent. 

Experience personal stories of tested morality and humanity in a dynamic urban landscape that changes with time. Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days will bring a new level of depth to the Into the Dead experience, challenging both newcomers to the series and seasoned veterans alike to ask: how far will you go to survive?

When announced back in 2022, Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days's Early Access launch was scheduled for 2024, but developer PikPok seems to have pushed that back until 2025,

However, a public demo will be launching later this year.

Key Features:

• PLAN
  • Gather a group of ordinary people who have been left shaken by the sudden zombie outbreak that has devastated their city.
  • Establish upgradable shelters to house your survivors and protect them from the zombie threat — but remember that no barriers can keep them out forever.
  • Keep moving from refuge to refuge to stay one step ahead of the encroaching zombie hordes. As their numbers grow, parts of Walton City will become more difficult to scavenge, or completely uninhabitable.
  • Balance the physical and psychological needs of the group, and try to maintain order when fear and paranoia set in.
• ADAPT
  • Creep through the remains of Walton City to scavenge precious resources, risking the life of each survivor as they encounter both zombie and human threats. Stealth is key — one loud noise could alert an overwhelming zombie cluster.
  • Choose whether to engage in brutal combat or run from a fight. Not everyone is a natural fighter, but desperate people will do anything to survive.
  • Convince others to join your group, deceive them out of supplies, or cut them down and claim their resources as your own.
• SURVIVE
  • Test your humanity as you make tough decisions on who will live, who will die, and who will be left behind.
  • Inhabit the rich and atmospheric cityscape of Walton City, the once-bustling metropolis now an eerie ruin swarming with zombies.
  • Craft tools, weapons, and shelter upgrades to better equip your survivors for the struggles ahead, or give them a moment of comfort and familiarity in their dangerous new world.
  • Encounter a dynamic urban environment that changes over time, so every playthrough is a new experience.

Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days is set to enter Early Access on Steam in 2025.
