Play DARKEST DAYS during the upcoming STEAM NEXT FEST! The Apocalypse is Near This February, DARKEST DAYS is joining the STEAM NEXT FEST February Edition for a massive global test! Click the link below to visit the DARKEST DAYS official website, and follow our social media channels for more updates. GLOBAL TEST Official Website Meet the Survivors of the Apocalypse Even in a world filled with despair, there are those who have survived. In this newsletter, we’ll introduce the survivors and their communities in the world of DARKEST DAYS. We’ll also take a closer look at the Masked Band, a violent group driven by their own selfish desires. Diverse Survivor Communities The survivors of Sand Creek each have their own stories. Some were lucky enough to survive by chance, while others were rescued from peril just in time. To increase their chances of survival, they banded together to form various survivor communities. End People Community A community formed by survival expert Boby Booker of those who could not make it to shelters. They believe that in order to survive in this bleak world, it's crucial to join forces with other communities, and are actively investigating the hostile group of survivors known as "The Masked Band". Medical Supporter Community Formed by hospital staff who banded together during the initial zombie outbreak, this community is dedicated to restoring healthcare in the apocalypse. Interestingly, a film crew shooting at the hospital during the outbreak joined forces with them, contributing to their efforts. Sheltic Network: Connecting Survivor Communities Though survival requires unity, network systems remain intact in this world. The Sheltic Network is the system that connects survivors in the world of DARKEST DAYS. Accessing the Sheltic Network requires a unique registration process, but its origins and those who oversee it remain shrouded in mystery. The Outlaws of Sand Creek: The Masked Band Notorious for their violent acts and atrocities, the Masked Band is a group of outlaws occupying survivor community settlements in Sand Creek by force. Hiding their identities behind masks, their true motives and leadership remain unknown. Your mission is to liberate the settlements occupied by the Masked Band and restore these homes to the survivor communities.
