Currently available as a 30-minute demo, this action-packed game allows you to step into the shoes of special agent Dalila Reyes. In it, there’s a lot to explore and multiple puzzles to solve.

The atmosphere is taut with scary tension too, making for exciting gameplay.

Furthermore, Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle teases a more refined and intuitive interface compared to Daymare: 1998. It also brings back known characters and introduces new ones as well. Plus, the enemies in this one can come back to life and become more aggressive. However, it deals with extreme violence and gore.

Only available as a demo for now
