Daymare: 1998
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.

This game was my daymare
The good: it looks pretty, because of course an UE4 game looks pretty. The bad: it's shoddy, because of course an UE4 game is shoddy - the the lockers flash a fake interaction prompt that leads to the player trying to find the sweet spot, only to find out there isn't any, the inventory menu is anything but smooth (and this on top of lacking any mouse controls, but my problem is that the keyboard control is just slow as shit and the map navigation is jerky), enemies aimbot on you with grabs (the melee's range means you already got grabbed by the time you can hit the enemy) and the very first puzzle is one of the most nonsensical things possible: you have a monitor with green and red areas indicating power, and you're *actually* meant to flip the switch on the green ones because apparently the green areas on the power monitor actually don't have power. The ugly: because it's an UE4 game, some absolute genius thought forced 2x+ anti-aliasing was a good idea, like we don't have FXAA or TAA in this world to deal with jagged edges more efficiently. This engine is the new Unity and this is the equivalent of the Unity game stereotype everyone clowns on. To be clear, I don't mean to dismiss that this game was done without effort, but if you hammer a nail in place with a toothbrush somehow, it doesn't mean a toothbrush is the correct way to hammer a nail. The two stars are pity for the pretty graphics.

I know I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but... this game is pretty bad. It is very obvious that the developers tried very hard to copy Resident Evil but failed enormously.

This game sucks
Terrible game. A disservice to Resdent Evil. Not scary, not fun, not worth your time.

clean trash fits best in trash bin.
clean trash fits best in trash bin, due to not being able to remap keys, impossible to play.
