DAYMARE: 1998 is a third-person survival horror game that recreates the mood of iconic titles from the '90s, with a fresh storyline. An incident that turns a small town into a deadly zone, three characters to play with and little time to find the truth, before its mutated citizens abruptly end your mission.

Recensione breve: se vi è piaciuto il remake di Resident Evil 2 ,consiglio di provarlo, pur con tutti i suoi difetti che lo rendono acerbo assai. Recensione lunga: è un gioco acerbo sotto molti aspetti, grafico, tecnico in generale, storia e varietà di nemici e gameplay in generale. Però per essere fatto da uno sviluppatore alle prime armi, è un discreto omaggio ai capolavori del genere. A volte si fa fatica a capire quali difficoltà in game sono una scelta di design e quali sono invece frutto di un team ancora inesperto. Devo ammettere una cosa però, sebbene è indubbio che sia a volte inutilmente legnoso e spigoloso, è riuscito a farmi vanire la voglia di giocarci. Dura il giusto, con circa 12 ore si finisce. Se siete indecisi, prendetelo sotto i 10€ oppure fate un tentativo per dare supporto ad un team italiano che azzardo nel dire abbia le carte in regola per crescere in futuro.
I don't know, I left a positive because I enjoyed most of my play through, but it has so many issues at the same time. First I beat the game, but only got achievements for 1,2 and 5 which is weird. So if you are an achievement hunter, best of luck. The puzzles are often really obscure or just an absolute pain to solve, so I just spent my time skipping a lot of them or looking up the codes. I enjoy the puzzles in the RE games, this just annoyed me. The initial character you play as is a terrible person and makes it a hard start. You switch to two other characters after and that isn't that well done. You get to play the ending of one character but get a cutscene ending for the other. After beating the game it gives you a cutscene, 2 audio logs and a text log to try and explain things. It's very much a RE story knockoff in a lot of ways story wise. Gameplay wise it tries to be RE but very janky in comparison. It also has some blatant knockoff situations where they were like the Temu version of the same thing. Then there are things like reloading the shotgun. You press the reload button and it reloads 1 shell. You have to hold down reload to reload all the shells. Same for the revolver. Makes both guns a pain to use at times. If you get it for dirt cheap, it's worth the play through. I mean dirt cheap. Lastly, OLED owners, be aware this thing does not know what the color black is and everything is a LIGHT GREY. It will drive you mad and is the first game I've played that sits right in the zone most known for having banding on an OLED so if I turned the flashlight off I just got to stare at the banding I almost never see.

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Okay, hot take here: it's not a bad game. Let me go through the most of the things I saw in the comments and provide my opinion: 1. Cumbersome mechanics, including slow mag reloading. There's a Modern Take mode, that removes this completely. I played on this mode, and cannot complain. 2. Convoluted puzzles. Frankly, there are two puzzles that got me a bit frustrated. First is the [spoiler]Greek alphabet puzzle[/spoiler] and the second is [spoiler]Fountain puzzle[/spoiler]. If the first lacks one clear hint, the second I'm pretty sure I completed correctly, but it never worked. But yet again, there's a magical Skip button that allows you to skip any puzzle, though most of them require just a bit of thinking and running around. So I can't say it's so convoluted. 3. Bad voice acting and mediocre plot. I personally add horrendous facial animations here, but let's be real. This game was a fan-made Resident Evil 2 remake, hastily redone to the original IP after the announce of the official remake. If you expect some AAA-style voice acting, motion of facial capture of a big project, and a plot of Kojima level, you WILL be disappointed. But if you ask me, it's a miracle the project was not closed, as most of the fan remakes. From what I think, the game was made with love. At least, [spoiler]the studio modelled in the game hints on it[/spoiler], and I enjoyed playing it. There are some bugs and a lot of... questionable moments, but also enough fun parts and atmosphere to get me continue playing through the whole game. I don't think I'll go for the second playthrough or achievement hunting in this game, but I enjoyed it enough. Also, you can play a mini-game in your head by guessing the repurposed locations from Resident Evil 2 or 3. I found at least some iconic ones. :D So, if you need to scratch that RE Remake itch while waiting for CV remake, it's not a bad game to try. Especially if you can buy it cheap. If you're here for AAA experience and won't agree to less, you can skip it. Also, I would recommend playing on Modern Take to avoid some more clunkiness, unless you specifically want to try more controversial mechanics.
Şu oyuna 13 saatimi verdim. Hayatımda başka bir oyunu sevmek için çabalamadım bu oyunu çabaladığım kadar ve artık pes ediyorum. Bitirmeye kadar sabrım yetmedi. Resident Evil serisinin down sendromlu kardeşi gibi. Hiçbir şeyi iyi yapmayan vasat bir oyun neyse ki ucuzken alıp kütüphaneye atmıştım ama gerçek sarmıyor. Oynanış vasat karakterler kütük gibi zombiler bir değişik, salak saçman yerlerden sizin önünüze zombie koyarak sizi korkutmaya çalışıyor. Bayat bir oynayış, sarmayan düşmanlar ve boktan bir hikaye anlatımı istiyorsanız bu oyun tam sizlik.
Я нашёл всех оленей, все журналы, пережил "Дневной кошмар" и теперь могу спать спокойно... ну, или не спать, потому что 23,3 часа — это доширак и бессонница. 45/45, 100% — разработчики в шоке, я в восторге. Покупайте, если готовы искать оленей там, где их быть не должно

10 liraya aldığım için bitirdim ama 50-100 lira anca eder vasat bir oyun
очень захватывающая игра
Довольно приятная игра за свой бюджет. На твердую 7. Да графика не на пике возможностей даже в то время, да оружия мало, инвентарь маленький, но все это компенсируется сюжетом, проработкой уровней, загадками, потрясающей звуковой атмосферой, сменой классического хоррора на психо -хоррор. Могло быть еще лучше..да. За финал отдельный респект.
This not a good game.
