The dead rise in debut demo during Steam Scream Fest

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, the shelter survival game set in a zombie-infested Texas city from PikPok, releases its first-ever Steam demo just in time for Halloween starting Monday, Oct. 28. Delve into the demo for a bite of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days ahead of its Early Access launch in 2025.

The debut demo highlights the survival horror and shelter management elements of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. As the undead overrun the city of Walton, Texas in 1980, those trapped within the city limits must work together to overcome ever-present dangers and ever-dwindling resources. Explore the city to scavenge for food and tools to stay alive, then return to base to manage survivors’ needs. Carve a path through Walton, guiding survivors from shelter to shelter and inching closer to an escape from the unfolding apocalypse.

Move through abandoned locations and eerie streets amid the tense and unsettling atmosphere of the richly immersive set design, crafted lighting, and evocative audio. The creak of floorboards, the moaning anguish of the infected, and the blood-curdling screams when scavenging efforts are cut short by an unfortunate misstep… 

Plan your escape from the city, with multiple leads to follow. Encounter and recruit survivors, each with unique positive and negative traits that impact how you play. As the city’s fate worsens and the number of undead increases, desperation drives Walton’s living citizens to actions once considered unthinkable. And when push comes to shove, engage in brutal combat using an array of scavenged melee and ranged weapons.

“We’re thrilled to share our public Steam demo of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days,” said Mario Wynands, CEO of PikPok. “The development team is hard at work creating an immersive survival game in an evolving world that challenges players at every turn, and we can’t wait to hear what players think of this first taste of the game.”

Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days will launch on PC via Steam Early Access in 2025, with a playable demo coming to Steam on October 28, 2024.
