Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is an upcoming side-scrolling survival game with zombies. It's in development from PikPok and it is aiming for a Steam Early Access release on April 9, 2025.
The game takes place in Walton, Texas in the year 1980. You will try your best to survive while dealing with an army of the walking dead, scarce resources, and the mental toll this takes on yourself and other characters.
Those who played something like This War of Mine may notice some similarities between it and Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. While the developers don't directly mention that other game, it's hard not to notice some of that shared DNA between the titles.
Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days will retail for $24.99 when it enters Early Access. a Mac release will follow at a later date.
As the scorching summer temperature of 1980 rises in the city of Walton, Texas, so too do hordes of the undead. Law and order quickly give way to chaos and confusion as human survivors band together to stay alive. 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 compelling 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 shot 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.
The world of Our Darkest Days is dynamic and challenging. Recruit potential allies or leave them to fend for themselves amid the outbreak — having one less mouth to feed could make all the difference. 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.
