Another certified B-tier buy-it-on-sale BANGER from Invader Studios with the energy of a background event in an X-Files season finale. Don't expect a retro zombie shooter, because this time gameplay-wise it's like Alan Wake, but not ♥♥♥♥ - freeze enemies to break their guard and blast ball lightning to prevent it from making more. The game didn't overstay its welcome, but it could have used a bit more enemy and location variety, maybe a crawling dude and more above ground sections, because it's mostly running dudes and evil lab back to back to back. Less interesting puzzles, but also less dialogue cringe ("Liev"'s performance actually makes sense this time and retroactively fixes his character in 1998).

I don't think I've ever been more torn on whether to recommend a game or not... I really like the combat, the frost grip feels really good to use with all it's different abilities and the guns, even though there's only 2, both feel satisfying and strong. I really like Delilah and I think her outfit is one of the best in survival horror. I like how she visibly gets more damaged through the game. The combat at some points was the perfect difficulty but other times it felt a bit too easy, playing on Hardcore. It managed to scare me really bad a few times, especially near the beginning, and even throughout it managed to stay tense. I never got the feeling of being overpowered or underpowered. Then there's what I didn't like... My god the ending was horrible. The final boss fight was genuinely one of the worst I've ever experienced. The hacking minigame is pure evil, it feels like complete luck that it'll even be possible in the first place. I'm so glad you get an unlock to skip it but that's only after beating the hardest version. It's not a huge negative but I do wish there was more enemy variety. The voice acting was really bad, some characters worse than others but overall quite awful. The dialogue writing was nonsensical half the time. The decisions Delilah would make were enough to roll my eyes into the back of my skull. I do think the game is more positive than negative though, especially being an indie game. And especially after their first game.

Ratings to the Game: 9/10 is it worth playing? yes, if you like resident evil, is resident evil inspired. Pros: *Graphics are good *Good feel of horror *Secrets in-game *Easy Achievement Grind *Easy Controls *Well explain tutorial for newbies Cons: *Character can be quite annoying *Cutscene conversation are completely offset. *facial expression on these characters look tragic lolz *some areas in the game in-game the graphics can look washed out

Good evolution from Daymare 1998, heavily improved visuals, animations, voice acting, cinematics & a more mature and fleshed out story. Recommended for all fans of this genre, especially if you want to support a small dev team. Recommended, especially if you finished Daymare 1998.

An excellent game and superior to the first one. It has all the elements of Resident Evil and Dead Space that I loved. Runs great and has good graphics with tons of combat and gore. A lot of action, exploring and problem solving that keeps the game fun and moving forward. A good story with great music and spooky atmosphere. Got it on sale and beat on hardcore over the weekend.
