Buy Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days PC key

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a side-scrolling shelter survival game about guiding a group of survivors through a zombie outbreak and trying to get them to safety. In 1980, a scorching heatwave and economic crisis grip the coastal metropolis of Walton City when an unstoppable outbreak reaches US shores. The city is overrun, its survivors cut off from outside help, and the group must find a way to escape.

Survive in Walton City

You gather ordinary people shaken by the outbreak and lead them through the remains of their city, an eerie ruin swarming with zombies. Scavenge resources while facing both zombie and human threats; each survivor risks their life on these trips, so stealth is key. You can run from fights or engage in brutal combat with weapons you find or craft. Not everyone is a natural fighter, but desperate people will do anything to survive.

You can persuade others to join your group, or kill them and take their resources. The choices you make test your humanity, including deciding who lives, who dies and who gets left behind. The world varies between playthroughs, making each run a new experience.

Shelter and supplies

You establish and upgrade shelters to house your survivors and protect them from the undead, but no barriers can keep the zombies out forever. You must keep moving from refuge to refuge to stay ahead of the hordes. Each night, zombies attack your barricades, and if they break through, your survivors pay the price.

Craft tools, weapons and shelter upgrades to prepare the group for what lies ahead. You can also craft items that offer survivors a moment of comfort and familiarity in their dangerous new world.

Manage your group

Balance physical needs such as Hunger and Exhaustion alongside psychological needs such as Despair. Treat injuries including Broken Ribs and try to manage traumas such as Nightmares.
