Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days promises a brutal and unforgiving world, but what exactly are we walking into? Beyond the desperate fight for survival, a rich (albeit terrifying) lore hints at the events leading to this zombie apocalypse. While gameplay trailers offer glimpses of desolate landscapes and desperate survivors, much of the story remains shrouded in mystery.
Early hints suggest a societal collapse fueled by resource scarcity, long before the undead started roaming. This pre-existing fragility likely exacerbated the crisis, turning localized outbreaks into a global pandemic. What caused the dead to rise? Was it a virus, a bioweapon gone wrong, or something more supernatural? These are the questions that will likely drive the narrative, pushing players not only to survive but also to uncover the truth.
The 'Our Darkest Days' subtitle implies a focus on the human element – the moral compromises, the desperate alliances, and the internal conflicts that arise when humanity is pushed to its breaking point. Expect to encounter not just hordes of undead, but also ruthless factions vying for control, forcing you to make difficult choices with potentially devastating consequences. Prepare to delve into the heart of darkness, not just fighting the dead, but confronting the very worst of the living.
