Daymare: 1998, is a third person horror survival game, set in the 90’s a fact visually expressed aesthetically throughout the environment. In Daymare: 1998, an incident or something has turned the your town into a dead zone, and all its citizens into mutated creatures. As you weave your way through this horrifying nightmare your town and it’s people have become to find the truth, your ability at stealth and all out combat is tested.
While the game sets itself in the 90’s it does so without really bringing in new experiences for the player to take from the game. It’s repetitive because of other games that have come before it. The story is okay but mostly remains unimaginative. You control three protagonists in turns often scouring the parts of the city or installations looking for information on what happened and ammunition to survive. The combat style and setting though old, it still has it’s satisfying moments.
