Is A Day Out worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Co-op groups of up to four players who want cooperative monster hunts
- Players who prefer investigations that lead into creature encounters
- Third-person shooter fans interested in customizable hunters and vehicle travel
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a primarily story-driven investigation with little combat may find the shooter encounters central to the structure.
- Players looking for solo-focused play may not suit a game built around teams of up to four hunters.
- Players wanting a tightly focused arena shooter may find the case-solving, capture, travel, and customization systems outside that scope.
Our take on A Day Out
The store pitch gives equal weight to investigations, monster capture, vehicles, customization, and co-op, but it does not establish how cases connect into a longer progression. The practical loop presented is clue gathering, creature combat, capture, and display at the FOB.
What is A Day Out?
A Day Out combines cooperative third-person shooting with investigations involving supernatural creatures.
Players handle cases set in different parts of the world, search for clues, and confront the creature linked to each investigation. Knowledge from solved cases can be used to capture cryptids with traps and weapons. Captured creatures are displayed at the team’s FOB. Vehicles provide transport across large areas and can also be used while escaping pursuing monsters, though collisions at high speed may throw a hunter from a bike. Hunter customization covers hair, tops, bottoms, bags, shoes, and other clothing. Cooperative play supports one player with up to three additional hunters, particularly during encounters with aggressive creatures.
How A Day Out plays

- 05Four-player co-op
- The game allows a hunter to play alongside up to three other players.
A Day Out compared to similar games
Abyssus also centers on cooperative multiplayer shooting, but its description focuses on roguelite runs through hand-crafted levels, tactical combat, and weapon modifications rather than investigations and cryptid capture. A Day Out adds clue-based cases, monster containment, vehicles, and hunter clothing customization to its third-person shooting framework.
