One of the most anticipated survival games on Steam – Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days – has officially launched in Early Access, aiming to become a standout title among other survival games.
Gritty, grim, and horrifyingly deadly, this game has a familiar backdrop of zombies. However, what sets it apart is the sheer terrifying volume of relentless oncoming zombies. Into The Dead taps into the immersive experience of feeling a “ghostly presence” that looms ominously behind you.
As one of the standout titles at Steam Next Fest – with over 300,000 demo downloads – Into The Dead quickly climbed into the top 50 most anticipated games on this platform.
Importantly, from this point forward, the game has officially opened its Early Access phase. Players can experience a fully free demo before deciding to purchase. Into The Dead is set against the tranquil backdrop of Walton in Texas during the 1980s. The game places players in the shoes of a survivor struggling to stay alive amidst a zombie apocalypse. With a side-scrolling perspective, players must seek refuge while dodging the relentless onslaught of the undead. As the daylight fades, players must venture out into the eerie darkness to scavenge for essential supplies.
A distinctive feature of Into The Dead is the concept of “no safe haven.” Despite the game’s mechanics providing a sense of safety, the ongoing zombie threat keeps players on high alert. Gamers must constantly maintain a heightened state of awareness, continuously moving and searching for safe zones. The pressure to survive never lets up, forcing players to always stay one step ahead of the incoming undead swarm.
Survival games can often be filled with mundane tasks, primarily involving scavenging and crafting, but the dread from the zombie horde always looms large. If we consider the classic of Project Zomboid or the immensely popular State of Decay 3 and Dying Light: The Beast, then Into The Dead is undoubtedly a title not to be missed for players on Steam at this current moment.
