About Dark Days

You are Carter. A lone hunter stationed on the isolated island of Colbrook. Everyone on the island has either been infected with some kind of bacteria or is in a state of survival. Your objective is to escape the island alive and save as many survivors as you can! The game has a compelling story line, with various character involvement and cinematic cut scenes.

In this top down zombie survival game you must scavenge areas for crucial items, survive waves of zombies, search for any survivors and secure safe houses. By securing safe houses with survivors and repairing your barricades you will be able to fast-travel in the game. You will be required to craft important items that will help you on your quest. You will also have access to multiple weapons, such as hand guns, assault rifles, powerful shotguns, a crossbow, throwing knives, cocktail molotovs, explosive mines, grenades and more. You will also have various melee weapons to break crates containing items to craft or simply to defend yourself when you’re out of ammo.

As you progress in the game you will find blueprints that will unlock new crafting skills. These skills will be indispensable for creating medic packs to heal yourself, sticky bombs for breaking down important doors, lock picks for gaining access to secret areas or for crafting several other weapons. The game also has optional side quests like collecting important letters that will give insight on the infection or completing achievements.

The different infected you will encounter:

Slow Zombies - Relatively easy to kill, yet can appear in mass. 
Runners - Fast zombies with more resistance. Will add a new level of stress! 
Zombie Beasts - Slow, yet very resistant and very strong. Don't let these guys touch you! 

Game Features


  • Try to escape the island and the infection 
  • Find survivors and secure safe houses 
  • Scavenge the areas and then craft your weapons and items 
  • Buy new weapons in the optional shop 
  • Collect letters and obtain achievements

Found dark days to be enjoyable and challenging. The only drawback is the re-spawn in each zone and locating survivors to fortify each of your safe houses. Every time you return to a zone you have to engage the zombies even after you cleared the area before. Complete mission in each zone the run past the zombies in the zones you already completed. Over all it's not a bad game I won and received for free on Steamgifts and I give it a thumps up

Yeah, so... this looks like it was made with free assets and somewhat decent art skills. The good (if you can call it that) stops there. Voice acting was probably made by one single person and is just SO bad that it's funny. Game doesn't help guide you at all, just goes "DO THIS" and leaves you asking, how? Stay away.

so far have to say that this game isn't bad. it's got a few issues that i would love to see fixed, for one controller support would not be all that hard in this game, twin stick controls and triggers (but that's just me being greedy :p) maybe change the cursor to a targetting symbol so i can see where i'm aiming a bit better? also could we get a system that allows us to give survivors a weapon to aid them so i'm not feeling like i'm playing babysitter? I love zombie games, but i hate it when i feel like i'm stuck as the babysitter >< Otherwise? game's pretty good so far. Would definitely recommend to a friend who likes games like project zomboid and other top down survival/zombie games.

There are better options, but the price point is decent. Cautious recommend, controls are rough and I can't say the game is too amazing.

This is a short 3D rendered 2D top down zombie survival game where you run around from a top down perspective and hope you get killed by zombies so you don't have to listen to the voice acting anymore. The quality really is quite poor, to the point this just isn't entertaining at all. Zombie TTK is too high, you can shine your torch through brick walls, the list goes on. At least it's not a 2D retro pixel platformer, I guess.

This is one of those games that I don't know how I ended up owning, but ultimately, I don't mind that I do. This is not a great game, and heck, maybe not even a good one. But whats here works and I do enjoy it. This reminds me alot of Larva Mortus or other flash games with top down shooting and exploration. The core loop is extremely simple, but fun enough. - You travel from screen to screen to reach story objectives. - You use a combination of melee and firearms to clear a path. - You find materials, money and blueprints to craft supplies. - There are 9 safehouses that you need to clear of zombies and find survivors to fill. Unlocking these gives you access to a store. One thing stands out. I may even say it's a #1. The voice acting. This is single worse WTF-iest choice of voice acting I've ever seen. It sounds like there is a total of two voice actors and they use a poorly implemented pitch shifting to cover the entire cast. Even more curiously... the main character who talks all the time ISN'T the normal voice. It's shifted into this low echoing growl and sounds ridiculous. Much like the rest of the game, it works but it would been improved if they asked for help. Maybe a b…
