Description
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

it's so borring, and loveless

The games feels like an kid from 2010 that never had played any fps or 3d storygame from 1990-2000 was trying to make an 90th game. So many things just are screwed up, that the best thing on this game, was the moment of uninstalling it. If the controll of this game is a 1/10 then, then the controll of the original Resident Evil, Silent Hill Games and so on, must be a 50/10. And they already made my cry sometimes back then. The animation of the emenies are feeling less fluid like from wolfenstein 3d. ok, they are zombis, but they move like zombis on -50°C. Sometimes a zombie walks in your direction, and u can go and grab a sneak meanwhile with out pausing the game. winnie pooh games are more scarry. The puzzels are poor and easy. If u played a few games back then, you can solve them with out tinkering. Using the shitty UI control is the hardest part on the puzzels. Shooting is very very poor implemented. Yes you have limit ammo, different guns and you can kill emenies, but it feels more poor and unsatisfying then shooting ducks on moorhuhn. I have played 10 min YT tutorials games of how to make a fps with unreal, that feeled better. Can't understand how somebody can release it like this. No friends to test the game? Do your self a favor, skip this one, safe your money and buy a real 90th/2000th FPS game from it.

Fun Cheeky RE Like Game With Issues

It's a fun, cheeky modern Resident Evil like game. Think RE 2, 3 remakes. I believe it started life as an RE2 remake by an independent group. I've had fun with it. It does capture the 90's RE/survival-horror feel in both game play, with both classic and modern takes, and story. However... - The auto save system was broken at first; mine was saved after the first five minutes and never saved again. So I played through to just getting into the hospital part in Chapter 2 with Sam and saw the save icon show up at the bottom right, but then next time I played I was back in Chapter 1 with 90% of it left to do. I found a fix for this: disabling GOG cloud sync for the game, uninstalling, and reinstalling. - You are not given access to the save system until right at two hours in, when you are given access to the HIVE in the middle of Chapter 2. - Sometimes pulling up your weapon hangs or is slow beyond any visual in-game aid to explain why (simply releasing the aim button and clicking again forces aim to happen). - Picking up items can be a pain. You have to be either right on top of them or in a specific angle to pick them up; even if that angle is putting your character on the opposite side of a corner of a desk when the item is on the edge of the corner... what? - Punching enemies feels off. You could have a zombie right in front of you and feel as if you would make contact if you tried to punch it, but when you do you end up not hitting it and you get attacked by the zombie instead. This can be a pain to get used too, but you can. - Changing the keybindings to use E for activate/interact does not change it in your character's D.I.D or inventory menu. It also does not change it for puzzles and such. It's always F for those while in the puzzle (so E to activate the start of the puzzle while in 3rd person of your character, then F to activate while in puzzle). After a while you don't even notice this.

Just a mess.

I wanted to like this game, but I cant. thw weapons are anemic and the enemies are bullet sponges. The shotgun can't stagger bigger foes. just a overall mess.

Optimal survival horror

Battles alternate with puzzles. The clues are quite confusing. The characters' melee attacks are crooked. I use modern shooting mode. Discounted 5 out of 5 stars.

We have RE2 Remake at home...

Pretty lackluster to say the least. I got the game for free and I still feel ripped off. I feel sorry for the poor souls who were unfortunate enough to burn $30 on this. Save your money and get something else.
