Dark Days

Dark Days is a top-down zombie survival game in which you play as Carter, a lone hunter stationed on the isolated island of Colbrook. The island’s inhabitants are either infected with a kind of bacteria or struggling to survive. Your goal is to escape alive and save as many survivors as you can. The story involves various characters and cinematic cutscenes.

Survive on Colbrook

You search areas for crucial items, fight waves of zombies, look for survivors and secure safe houses. Find survivors and repair barricades to secure safe houses, which let you fast-travel. You can also buy weapons in an optional shop.

The infected include three types:

• Slow Zombies: relatively easy to kill, but they can appear in large numbers.
• Runners: faster and more resistant than Slow Zombies.
• Zombie Beasts: slow, highly resistant and very strong.

Weapons and crafting

You craft items to help you survive, using skills unlocked by finding blueprints. These include medic packs to heal yourself, sticky bombs to break down important doors and lock picks to access secret areas, as well as several other weapons. Your weapons include handguns, assault rifles, powerful shotguns, a crossbow, throwing knives, Molotov cocktails, explosive mines and grenades. You can also use melee weapons to break crates for crafting items or defend yourself when you run out of ammunition.

Side activities

Optional side quests include collecting important letters that reveal more about the infection and completing achievements.
