Our take on Survive The Dark
Players may hit the wall when nighttime begins and the game shifts from daytime exploration and construction to defending the base. Anyone unwilling to scavenge food, build shelter, craft equipment, and manage survival needs will encounter that pressure early.
What is Survive The Dark?
Survive The Dark is a story-driven, physics-based first-person survival simulator set in a post-apocalyptic mountain filled with zombies.
Starting without food or equipment, the player must remain alive until a rescue team arrives. The game combines exploration, resource gathering, shelter construction, fire-making, tool crafting, and weapon creation. Daytime is used to explore and build, while nighttime focuses on defending the base. Food must be scavenged to prevent starvation, and crafted weapons support hunting and defense. The game also includes full bHaptics support for Tactsuit, Tactosy for arms, and Tactal for head.
