About the Game

DAYMARE: 1998 is a third-person survival horror with hardcore survival mechanics and hard to kill enemies. It requires a strategical approach to combat and puzzles and offers a multi-character point of view on the story, revealing a deep and obscure lore.
The scene is set with a secret research facility, a deadly chemical weapon and a special security team to investigate this incident with the potential to become much more than just a security breach. Follow the steps of an elite soldier, a helicopter pilot and a forest ranger, as they play out their roles in an event that transforms one peaceful small town into a deadly zone and its citizens into bloodthirsty monsters. Take the creatures down first, before looking for any clues and evidence to bring more sense to the mess. Keep track of your itinerary, as resources are scarce in a situation like this! Anything can happen when your daymares become real…



Fans of the iconic cinematographic brands and classical gloomy survival horror games of the '90s will be thrilled, seeing how DAYMARE: 1998 recreates the atmosphere of the most beloved works from the end of the millennium and places a typical yet fresh story in the middle of it. The plot unfolds through the eyes of various characters, putting players in the shoes of different personalities that will guide them through their theories and doubts about the situation. Backtracking, managing ammo, collecting lore items, solving environmental puzzles and the overall difficulty will help players jump a couple decades back and get chilled to the bone in their first real daymare.

Main features:

  • Multi-character POV – see the story from different angles and discover the truth
  • Dreadful enemies – rendered in detail with lifelike animations and dismemberment
  • Realistic HUD – check inventory, health and position on a special piece of gear
  • Environmental puzzles – finding your way is not always easy, look for clues
  • Classic mechanics - limited ammo and save points, backtracking, collectibles, tough enemies and more
  • Modern graphics and effects – not all is classic thanks to Unreal Engine 4
  • Experience 90s – homage to the era with tons of references

I want to give this game a fair chance. I really, really want to. But my god - how can you have THAT for your finale and say: "Okay let's charge $29.99" it's an insult really. even if you take it as a B movie factor with cheese - that finale was not it. On top of that you have repetitive enemies and a story that - kind of went nowhere and then somewhere, and then nowhere again. Yeah buy this on deep sale if you really really want to enjoy it

Daymare: 1998 is a gritty, atmospheric survival horror game that wears its inspirations on its blood-soaked sleeve. Developed by Invader Studios, it began as a fan remake of Resident Evil 2, and that legacy is felt in nearly every aspect of the game—from its fixed-camera roots to its slow-paced, methodical gameplay. However, Daymare: 1998 is not content to simply be a nostalgia piece. It tries to carve out its own identity by expanding its scope, deepening its lore, and offering multiple playable perspectives across a story that is grim, complex, and unrelenting. Set in the fictional town of Keen Sight, Idaho, the story revolves around a catastrophic biohazard outbreak caused by a mysterious chemical weapon known as the Daymare virus. You rotate between three main characters: Liev, a hardened soldier with a moral ambiguity that adds edge to his missions; Raven, an elite operative uncovering the dark truths behind the incident; and Samuel, a civilian suffering from a psychological co...

I was somewhat enjoying until sure voice acting was wonky and controls where not polished but kept me going until bosses each boss is way harder then they should be I mean you don't even know if your damaging the boss especially the final one reaction is not good enough to shoot the barrel you need lightning fast reflexes

I've only played 2.5 hours and... yeah its not great. just some real basic continuity and story issues, less the average voice acting and controls are janky. Not giving up on the studio, I'm sure if they built a bit more they might have something. But imma sit this one out, chief.

Survival horror in the same vein as Resident Evil, only a bit jankier. I though some of the puzzles had some obscure solutions but the atmosphere and action made up for it.
