Daylight – first video of Zombie Studios’ URE4 game released

daylight 032313

Daylight, the procedurally generated psychological thriller from Zombie Studios, has a new video available showing the Unreal Engine 4 powered game running. It shows the main character in the game walking around an abandoned hospital with only her cell phone for illumination. Zombie says no two experiences will be alike in the game, and it is “best played alone in the dark.” Each time a new game is started, it will be a new world with new content and encounters. Sounds interesting. Daylight will be released on Steam this year, and will run around the $20 mark. Additional chapters are to be released post launch. Thanks, Evil Avatar.
