Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is a third-person, story-driven survival horror game and a prequel to Daymare: 1998. You play as special agent Dalila Reyes, a former government spy now working for H.A.D.E.S. (Hexacore Advanced Division for Extraction and Search), on the top-secret Sandcastle mission. Your assignment takes you into an experimental military research center in the United States, where lethal creatures wait in its dark, labyrinthine depths. The mission also reveals the past of some characters from Daymare: 1998.

Explore and investigate

You explore evocative settings, solve environmental puzzles and search for clues, resources and collectibles. A scanner device installed on Reyes’s arm can analyze parts of the environment to reveal puzzles, secret documents and hidden items. The D.I.D. interface has been redesigned to let you manage your inventory, ammunition and health items.

Fight the creatures

You face intelligent, aggressive enemies with hardcore action mechanics, and can fight, kill and dismember them. Some enemies can return in a new and deadlier form even after you think you have killed them. Alongside other guns, you can use the Frost Grip, a powerful weapon that may contain liquid nitrogen.

Choose your difficulty

You can select a difficulty to suit your combat ability and experience with survival horror. The game combines exploration, environmental puzzles and combat with a chilling soundtrack and an atmosphere inspired by 1990s action-horror films.
