‘Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days’ Launches Into Steam Early Access on April 9

PikPok announced during the Future Games Show that their bleak zombie strategy game Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days comes to PC via Steam Early Access on April 9. The demo that was released back in October is still available for fans to play.

The first PC game entry into the acclaimed Into the Dead franchise, Our Darkest Days takes place during the summer of 1980 in the city of Walton, Texas. Hordes of the undead have risen, with  law and order quickly giving way to chaos and confusion as human survivors band together to stay alive. You must lead a group of survivors on a dangerous journey to avoid zombies, establish shelters, and seek an escape from Walton.

Brave the undead masses in a mix of sidescrolling survivor horror exploration and base-management gameplay. Survivors will set out from an upgradable shelter to scavenge locations throughout Walton in hopes of securing invaluable resources, weapons, food, and more – all essential for a chance at another night of survival. Move cautiously through abandoned stores and police stations, avoiding loud noises that might alert the undead, or be ready to stand and fight back.

You’ll be able to recruit potential allies on your journey, or leave them to fend for themselves amid the outbreak. You must also balance physical and psychological needs as resources dwindle daily. Build and upgrade shelters, but be ready to abandon them for a new safe haven as the zombie hordes advance. As time passes, parts of Walton may become overrun and completely uninhabitable.

Uncover clues throughout Walton pointing to multi-step escape plans and lead the group to salvation… or an untimely end. How you play — and who will survive — is up to you.
