Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle, a third-person story-driven survival horror game prequel to the critically acclaimed Daymare: 1998, puts the player in the shoes of special agent Dalila Reyes, a former government spy, now in the service of the H.A.D.E.S. (Hexacore Advanced Division for Extraction and Search). Reyes’ mission seems simple: enter the most advanced experimental research facility in the United States. But who knows what dangers await her.

Grab one of the most innovative and technologically advanced weapons of all time and prepare to face never-before-seen creatures while you make your way through a series of frightfully evocative settings ready to be discovered.

A perfect mix of fierce and deadly enemies, hardcore action game mechanics, environmental puzzles, a chilling soundtrack, plenty of exploration, and massive doses of concentrated horror wait for you in Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle.  No place is safe, especially when you’re being hunted by your nightmares.

• New characters and great comebacks – take part in the top-secret mission “Sandcastle” as the game’s main protagonist, H.A.D.E.S. Special Agent Dalila Reyes, and reconstruct the past of some of the most beloved characters from Daymare: 1998.
• Lethal and terrifying enemies – fight, kill and dismember the enemies that stand in your way. Beware: these enemies are terribly intelligent, aggressive and realistic.
• Revamped interface – D.I.D. is back, albeit in a completely redesigned form. Manage your inventory, ammo and health items directly from the new intuitive game interface.
• Attention to the scanner – thanks to the innovative device, installed on Reyes’ arm, you can analyze parts of the environment and reveal new puzzles to solve, collect secret documents and detect hidden items.
• Puzzles integrated into the environment – The solution is often right in front of you! Search for clues and overcome obstacles around you to obtain resources and collectibles.
• Are you sure he’s dead? – Get ready to face the toughest and most aggressive enemies you’ve ever seen – even if you’re sure you’ve killed one, you’ll find that he may return in a completely new form and be even more lethal than before!
• Amazing and immersive graphics, sound effects and soundtrack – thanks to the power of Unreal Engine 4, you will live the most terrifying experiences.
• Access the most secret place in the world – discover all the mysteries hidden in one of the most famous and enigmatic places in history. Which one? You’ll have to embark on the mission to find out!
• Back to the 90’s… again! – If you loved the nostalgia of Daymare: 1998, then Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle will make you feel like you’re living and playing in a 90’s action/horror movie with familiar references and a terribly authentic atmosphere with a retro flavour.
• Freeze! – This time there will be no shortage of weapons, but be prepared to equip yourself with one of the most innovative and powerful weapons ever created: the Frost Grip! WARNING: may contain liquid nitrogen.
• Veteran or novice – choose the most appropriate difficulty mode based on your combat skills and survival horror experience. Either way, it will be a great challenge for the fearful.
