About the Game
From the creator of DEVOUR (over 7 million copies sold), Daymare is a 1–4 player co-op survival horror game set in Pelican City. The collapse of the ozone layer has exposed the city to devastating solar radiation, triggering widespread horrific mutations. Capture mutant specimens, process them into biofuel, and power your train: it's your last chance to reach the only remaining rocket launch site and escape Earth.
Fuel Your Train
Leave the safety of your train to explore meticulously crafted, hazardous locations in search of mutated specimens. Process them into biofuel and gather materials to craft the items you'll need to survive the journey ahead.
Trust No One
The heat itself is a threat. Manage your heat levels and find ways to stay cool, or risk mutating and turning on your own teammates.
Every Journey Is Different
Each journey through Pelican City takes place along different subway lines, changing the route to the launch site. Along the way, you'll encounter various mutants, each with unique behavior patterns.
