The original Daymare: 1998 is a third-person survival horror game developed by Invader Studios that pays homage to the iconic genre classics from the ’90s and features a story involving an incident that turns a small town into a deadly zone.
Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is a prequel where players step into the shoes of agent Dalila Reyes, a former government spy now in the service of the H.A.D.E.S. unit, who must prepare to face true horror and enter the most advanced experimental research center in the United States of America.
Main Features:
- New characters and big comebacks – Take part in the top secret “Sandcastle” mission as the game’s main protagonist, Special Agent H.A.D.E.S. Dalila Reyes, and reconstruct the past of some of Daymare: 1998’s most beloved characters
- Lethal and terrifying enemies – Fight, kill and dismember the new enemies that stand between you and the resolution of your mission, so frighteningly intelligent, aggressive, and realistic in every detail.
- Revamped interface – The D.I.D. is back, though in a completely redesigned way. Manage your inventory, ammo, and health items directly from the new game interface, which has never been so simple and intuitive.
- Eye to the Scanner – Thanks to the innovative device installed on Reyes’s arm, you can analyze portions of the environment and reveal new puzzles to solve, pick up secret documents and detect hidden items!
- Environmental puzzles – The solution is often right in front of your eyes! Search for all the clues and overcome the environmental obstacles to obtain resources and collectibles
