Overview
Description

Days Gone is an action-adventure survival horror game set in a post-apocalyptic Oregon. Players control Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter fighting to survive against hordes of Freakers, the zombie-like creatures that have devastated the world. The game features a vast open world to explore, a variety of missions and side quests, and a dynamic weather system and day-night cycle that affects gameplay.

You play as Torque, a condemned prisoner thrust into a twisted, nightmarish version of a maximum‑security penitentiary. The game blends third‑person combat with psychological horror as you battle ghoulish apparitions, hostile inmates, and the demons of your own past. The Suffering challenges you to unravel Torque’s mysterious past while navigating a hostile environment filled with jump‑scares, brutal melee, and unsettling storytelling, all rated M for mature audiences.
