In this new 600mb beta release we’ve added a completed story line with the main campaign objectives. You are Carter, a lone hunter, trying to survive an infection on a far-away island. As you try desperately to escape you will cross paths with various characters on your way.

In this update we’ve revamped all maps with new graphics, lighting effects, new cut scenes for plot development, new weapons and new items to craft. Throughout the game you will find blueprints that will unlock crafting skills. As you progress in the game these skills will be crucial to your survival. There’s also optional letters you can find in the game that will give you insight on the infection and explain the potential cause. There’s also Safe Houses to secure by escorting survivors, including a Fast Travel mode. Within these Safe Houses you will be able to access the optional shop, where you can buy and sell items and weapons.

Close to final release, this version should be stable, with minor bugs. Please give us your comments and bug reports in the Steam Community forum. A final release is expected for early June 2016.

Thanks for playing Dark Days.

Hi guys!

Here's what to expect in the Dark Days beta version, which should be released in a few weeks now. There will be 30+ maps to explore, more items to scavenge and weapons to craft or buy. We also have a compelling story line with the main character Carter, who will try to rescue survivors as he manages to survive himself.

There will be main quests that evolve during the campaign, such as rescuing survivors, securing safe houses and trying to find meaning to what's going on on Colbrook Island. The game will also have side-quests and optional collectibles.

We are currently hard at work right now, improving the overall graphics of the game and creating cut scenes for the major plot twists. We've posted some new screen shots for you to see. And don't forget that for those that buy the game now, you will receive all future updates, including the final version of the game, which should sell for $5 - $10.

Hi!

This week we've been working on new maps and have changed our shaders so it looks more realistic.

We plan to publish a video somewhere next week so you can see all this in action.
