Patch Notes: Hotfix v0.3.2

10. Apr.

Some more bug squishing! We appreciate your efforts in reporting. Remember, the in-game bug reporting tool is the fastest way to get a fix, as it sends game logs and machine specs directly to our developer team.

We're currently looking into a number of other known issues currently, including players getting stuck falling off the roof at Hackett Construction Inc. (a fix is being tested now); several black screen/white screen reports (we have a possible fix that we're evaluating); zombies at the Walton Taxi Depot having the curious power to run through walls and cars (a fix is coming); and issues with climbing on and off trucks (investigating now).

Patch Notes

Fixes

Fixed an issue where the player was unable to load their save if they exited the tutorial immediately and then re-entered.
Fixed an issue where completing a Plan did not conclude the game.

FAQs and Troubleshooting

9. Apr.

Need a helping hand to get started in Walton City? We've put together answers to some frequently asked questions, and explained some troubleshooting to common issues.

General Questions

Where can I buy the game?

You can purchase Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days[store.steampowered.com] here on Steam[store.steampowered.com].

How do I control the game?

Below are instructions for using an Xbox controller (XBOX), a PlayStation controller (PS), or keyboard and mouse controls. Other controllers may also function.
We recommend using a controller.
Detailed control schemes are available in-game or at the bottom of this page.

Gameplay Questions

How do I assign survivors to tasks?

To progress in the game, you need to assign your survivors to different tasks like scavenging, resting, or rebuilding barricades.

Approach a shelter station with a survivor by moving using:

Left joystick on the controller
WASD on the keyboard

Once you are at a station, press:

Y (XBOX) or Triangle (PS) on the controller
E on the keyboard to interact

Add tasks to a survivor’s queue with:

A (XBOX) or X (PS) on the controller
E on the keyboard

Remove the last queued task on the shelter station screen by pressing:

X (XBOX) or Square (PS) on the controller
R on the keyboard

Go back with:

B (XBOX) or Circle (PS) on the controller
Right mouse click to withdraw from the screen

If your survivor is now doing an interaction animation at the station, they have been successfully assigned.

You can change to another survivor by using:

The Directional Pad on the controller
The number 1 and 2 keys on the keyboard

Once you have assigned all survivors, you need to end the current phase to progress the game.

To do this, hold:

RB (XBOX) or R1 (PS) on the controller
R on the keyboard until the phase circle in the lower right corner of the screen is filled

Then the phase will end, and your survivors will be set into action.

How do I send survivors to go scavenging in the city?

Survivors can be sent scavenging by using the map station in their current shelter.

Move a survivor to the map using:

The left joystick on the controller
WASD on the keyboard

Then use:

Y (XBOX) or Triangle (PS) on the controller
E on the keyboard to interact with the map

Choose a location by:

Navigating to it with the left joystick then pressing A (XBOX) or X (PS) on the controller
Left mouse clicking on it and then pressing E

Choose items in the shelter inventory for your survivor to take with them.

Once you have moved the items you want into your survivor’s backpack, press:

Y (XBOX) or Triangle (PS) on the controller
R to go scavenging

Once you end the current phase, your survivor will head out into Walton City.

Tip: It’s always good to make sure you have plenty of weapons and lockpicks in your survivor’s backpack when they go scavenging!

How do my survivors escape the city?

The goal of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is to escape Walton City with as many survivors alive as possible.

Your survivors do this by completing one of a number of possible Escape Plans.

First:

Survivors need to discover a Plan Lead. Survivors can find these hidden around the city in different locations. A Lead will also unlock after a set amount of phases if your survivors have yet to find any.

Once they get their first Lead:

Press the Inventory button on the controller or P on keyboard to view the Inventory menu
Change to the Plans menu. This will show you where to look for more Leads.

Once your survivors have collected enough Leads, you’ll be alerted that an Escape Plan is available:

Visit the Plans menu again to pin the Escape Plan.
Now your survivors need to follow the objectives listed in the top left of the game screen to progress through the Plan.
Be careful - if your survivors die or they fail to complete an objective, they won’t be able to complete the Plan and escape.

Tip: Make sure to investigate each location you scavenge thoroughly to make sure you don’t miss any Leads.

How do I heal my survivors?

In the shelter, your survivors can use a Healing Kit from the shelter inventory to instantly restore health. Sleeping will also restore a small amount of health.

If your survivor is suffering a physical state such as ‘Bruised Ribs’ or ‘Sprained Wrist’, they’ll need to use an item like a Bandage or a Splint to recover. If they have a psychological state such as ‘Nightmares’, they’ll need to use a shelter station like the Communal Area to recover. Usually it will require a few phases to pass before the survivor is fully healed from their state.

Check the state’s description in the Survivor menu to see what it requires. To do this:

Open the Inventory and change to the Survivor menu.

How do my survivors use the flashlight?

All of your survivors already have a flashlight - they don’t need to craft or equip it.

To use it, aim using:

The right joystick on the controller
Hold the right mouse button while moving the mouse

How do my survivors use a firearm?

Once you have a firearm, your survivor needs to equip it in the Inventory screen. Then they can aim using the same controls as the flashlight.

Load the gun with:

RB (XBOX) or R1 (PS) on controller
R on keyboard

Fire with:

RT (XBOX) or R2 (PS) on controller
Left mouse click on the mouse

Keep an eye on your survivor’s ammo in the lower left of the game screen and don’t forget to reload!
Tip: Your survivor needs the right kind of ammo to fire their gun e.g. a pistol uses pistol ammo only.

How do my survivors throw distractions?

Your survivor can throw things like glass bottles to distract zombies.

Equip the item in your survivor’s inventory.

Aim with:

The right joystick on the controller
Or hold the right mouse button and move the mouse

Then press:

RT (XBOX) or R2 (PS) or left mouse click to throw

Tip: Your survivor cannot have throwable items and a firearm equipped at the same time.

What are the circles on the ground in scavenging locations for?

Gray circles indicate cover, where your survivor can hide.

To use them, press:

Up on the joystick or W on the keyboard to take cover
Down on the joystick or S on the keyboard to move out of the cover spot

Some cover spots will hide you from zombies approaching in either direction, while others will only hide you from zombies approaching in one direction.
Cover also doesn't work if a zombie is chasing your survivor or is already aware of their presence.

Tip: Your survivor can throw distraction items like bottles or aim their gun from cover.

Why do my survivors keep alerting zombies?

Stealth is key to surviving Walton City.

Make sure to toggle sneaking with:

B (XBOX) or Circle (PS) on controller
Left Ctrl on keyboard when moving around in the city

If your survivor makes a loud noise, like attacking a zombie, running, or firing a gun, it will alert zombies around them.
Zombies that are dormant in the background or foreground might move to the middle ground (where they can hurt your survivor) when awoken, even if they’re off-screen.
Certain actions cannot be done silently, like opening rolling garage doors.

Tip:

Some zombies will let out a primal scream when alerted, which will call other zombies to them.
Make sure to quickly kill zombies that are winding up for a primal scream before they can complete it!

Why aren’t my survivors responding?

If your survivor isn’t responding to controls or you’re missing button prompts, try the following:

Launch the game using DirectX11.
Check if all survivors are assigned to shelter stations properly. (If they’re not doing an interaction animation (and are just standing idle in front of the station) then they are not assigned to it.)
Restart the game to refresh inputs.

Into the Dead combines the gameplay of This War of Mine with the setting of State of Decay, delivering a mix of action, stealth, and resource management, with a clear end goal – Escape. It’s not a copy of either of these games, rather an inspiration in a unique package. Be aware however, death is permanent, there are no difficulty modifiers, and there’s only one save file – It’s a case of try, fail, retry – If you’re a casual gamer who doesn’t have the time to invest in learning through experience, this may be better suited for your wishlist for now.

📝 Main Pros, Cons, and Suggestions, followed by the Review:

🟩 Pros:

+ Shelters are distinct from one another
+ Crafting mechanics and controls are easy to pick up
+ Durability becomes a non-issue later in the game, as your craft better weapons
+ Claiming a new shelter automatically collects any remaining loot, streamlining gameplay
+ New survivors can be found while scavenging, but not all encounters will end peacefully
+ Art direction oozes 80s charm, with cassette icons, retro fonts, and evocative location design
+ The need to relocate shelters adds tension and keeps the gameplay loop dynamic and engaging
+ Emphasises stealth with mechanics like hiding in shadows, peeking through doors, and sneaking
+ Choose from 5 unique survivor duos (10 total), each with two complementary strengths and one weakness
+ Built around a try, fail, retry system of learning through experience, the more effort you invest, the easier it becomes, leading to natural progression

🟥 Cons:

- Combat and character movement feels sluggish
- No difficulty settings, making it less accessible to casual players
- Loot from previous shelters isn’t taken when relocating, which can feel punishing
- Button prompts are inconsistent, showing (Y) instead of (A) for equipping weapons
- Only a single save slot, limiting experimentation with different survivors or choices
- Permadeath adds tension but may become frustrating or repetitive for some players
- Weapon durability feels unrealistic early – A metal crowbar shouldn’t break before a pool cue
- Inventory stack sizes feel unbalanced – 4 wooden planks shouldn’t equal 2 junk food packets

🏷️ Suggestions:

~ Co-op
~ Consider increasing weapon durability
~ Add extra save slots and difficulty modifiers to support player experimentation and longevity

It's the summer of 1980. The undead have taken over Texas. Nobody is coming to help you.

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days (ITD) is set in the summer of 1980, where a zombie apocalypse has engulfed Texas. The core loop involves managing survivors’ health, hunger, and sanity while scavenging for supplies. Every decision you make during the day and night cycles feels impactful, especially when the wrong decision can lead to permanent death.

Avoiding direct confrontation was always the most optimal approach, and peeking through doors became second nature to me, however, it wasn’t always possible. In other games, forced engagements feel like a chore and break immersion, here however, they add to the atmosphere and the tension. Durability, however, does the exact opposite, at least early on, before you begin crafting better weapons – Even a firefighter’s axe feels like a pool noodle in ITD.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3461144551

Graphically, ITD's colour palette paints a dark, grim picture, serving to create a tense atmosphere, capturing the bleak reality of a state clinging on to survival. Internal locations feel desolate, forgotten, and in disarray due to the panic which came with the horde. The ambient sounds of floors creaking as you walk through locations does an impactful job at highlighting how forgotten these places are.

External locations, however, can appear flat and lifeless (mainly during the day), not just thematically, but also visually. Lighting and shadows aren’t realistic, and seeing assets such as paper blowing about, spawn in from fixed locations detracts from the experience. Additionally, while exploring, there’s no ambient soundtrack. I understand the lack of audio serves to enforce the point that the world is empty and forgotten, but for to me, it’s a lost element of suspense – Light ambient music would have done wonders to reinforce the tense atmosphere.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3461145641

Despite the rough edges, ITD has a solid foundation. The audio and visual shortcomings can be patched, along with weapon degradation. Looking at the extensive roadmap, there’s plenty more content coming our way to turn this game from good, to great, to amazing. It’s a challenging, almost overwhelming experience, and unforgiving for the smallest of mistakes, but it rewards perseverance (at the cost of repetition). If you have the time and patience to explore, fail, and learn, then ITD is a perfect addition to the zombie survival genre.

If you enjoyed my review and would like to support me, I would love if you followed BSR for more bite sized reviews.

Early-Access-Rezension

[Ger | English below]
Ich liebs. Ich habe this war of mine geliebt und dieses Game gibt mir die gleichen Vibes. Ich finds so cool, dass es in den fiktionalen 80er Jahren mit all den typischen Farben und den wirklich coolen Soundeffekten stattfindet. Auch dem Zombie Thema bin ich immer zugetan also passt das für mich. Also ja, wie ich schon erwähnt hab, nach meinem aktuellen Spielerlebnis (und ich bin immernoch in meinem ersten Durchlauf) kann ich nur sagen - ich liebs.
Ich hab die Demo vor einigen Monaten schon gespielt und war total gehyped es endlich spielen zu können. Ein wenig Schade, dass es jetzt "nur" im Early Access Status rauskam aber die Roadmap sieht gut in meinen Augen aus und sollten die Entwickler auf ihre Community hören und ihre Wünsche und Sorgen ernst nehmen, hat das Game richtig viel Potential. Ich bin aktuell schon sehr Zufrieden. Keine Performance Probleme oder irgendwas.
Kanns kaum erwarten, mehr von dem Game zu sehen :3.

Sachen auf die ich mich freue:
+ "Curveballs". Umwelt Events
+ Hunde
+ Mehr/Neue Survivor
+ Custom Scenarios
+ NPCs
+ Neue Loot Location und die Map Erweiterung

Sachen die ich mir für die Zukunft wünsche oder die mir derzeit noch fehlen:
+ Optionen zur Barrierefreiheit. Sie haben dazu zwar etwas in der Roadmap erwähnt, trotzdem schade, dass es jetzt noch nicht implementiert ist und was genau sie diesbezüglich vor haben stand da auch nicht. Der typische 80's retro Schriftstil ist zwar cool, gibt mir mit meiner Sehstörung aber leider gerne auch dezente Kopfschmerzen. Zum Glück ist er nicht dauerhaft aktiv.
+ Zufalls generierte Map. Ich hab in den Foren gelesen, dass das aktuell noch nicht drin ist und ich selbst habe auch nichts diesbezüglich auf der Roadmap gesehen, also hoffe ich einfach, dass das trotzdem in der Zukunft kommt. Das würde den Wiederspielwert nochmal deutlich erhöhen.
+ Es wär wirklich cool, wenn man zwei oder mehr Survivor auf Loottour schicken könnte. Damit mein ich zweierlei Dinge. Zum einen, dass zwei auf dieselbe Loottour gehen und sich somit mit dem Gepäck und dem Kämpfen unterstützen können. Zum Anderen dass man sie sonst vllt in zwei verschiedene Locations schicken kann (die runs dann dementsprechend nacheinander abgehandelt werden), wenn man mal wirklich einen Engpass an dringenden Materialien hat. Hierbei ist zu bedenken, dass wenn die Survivor außerhalb unterwegs sind, dementsprechend ja auch in der Base im Zweifel keinerlei Fortschritt passiert, was wie ich finde ein fairer ausgleich sein könnte. Edit: Anscheinend ist sowas in der Art schon ingame und einfach nur nicht erklärt, weswegen ich davon nichts wusste.

Das ist meine Meinung erstmal. Vielleicht ergänze ich das ganze zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt.. Hab ich erwähnt, dass die Zombie Geräusche mir eine absolute Gänsehaut bereiten? :D

_________________________________

Love it. I loved this war of mine and this game give me a lot of this vibes. The fact that it's a finctional 80's zombie apocalypse with this colors and the soundeffects are so good. Like i said, as far as i played right now (and i'm still into my first run) i love it.
I played the Demo a few month ago and was so hyped to finally play this. The Fact that this Game is an Early Access Title was a bit sad but for now its enough for me. The Future Plans looks really good to me and if the devs react to the community Feedback this has a lot more potential :3. No Performance Problems or anything like that.
Cant wait for more.

Things i'm hyped for:
+ "Curveballs". Environmental/World Events
+ Dogs
+ more/new Survivor
+ Custom Scenarios
+ NPCs
+ New Scavenging Locations and Map Expansion

Things i wish that will be implemented/ Things i miss right now in the game:
+ Accessibility Options. I know they mentioned smth in their roadmap but i'm a bit sad, that this isnt ingame rn. The typical 80's retro font is nice but it gives me a little headache with my visual impairment.
+ A randomized Map. I read that this isnt right now in the game and i didn't read smth about this in the roadmap, so yeah, hopefully this is some thing in the future. This would make the replay value a lot higher.
+ Would be cool if you could send two or more survivor at the same time to a Loottour. And if i say that, i have smth in my mind like. X and Y are going on the same Lootrun and can bring more items back or can alternately fight the zombies if they are as example low hp and its dangerous... Or on the other hand You could send two or more survivor at the same time to a lootrun on different locations. Edit: This some of mechanic is already ingame but not obvious. I just read about it and didnt tested it myself rn.

Yeah thats it so far. Did i mentioned, that the zombie sounds give me the thrill?! :D
Maybe i will add or edit this review later on.

How do I get rid of Joe

I don't know why, but Joe always has the worst luck when I play as him. A walking comedy of errors. The 2 extra inventory slots is not worth the constant depression and medkit tax I pay every time I send him to scavenge (because leave it to Joe to accidentally get seen inside a hiding spot/alert a horde with the sound of his weapon/hit E to take down a zombie right as the zombie turns around and spots him. What do you mean its my fault because I'm the player? Of course it's not my fault. It's Joe's fault.)...

Weapons swap

Can we have weapon swap option, like pressing 1 and 2 to swap between knife and bat. Having to enter inventory mid combat to swap from stealth knife to a loud bat is not a good option right now.

Weapon durability is perfectly FINE

I read about how bad it is, but after just playing a few hours I feel the durability rant is totally unjustified. In fact, it is perfectly balanced. Some weapons break quickly (e.g. broken bottle), some weapons can last you through a zombie Ragnarok (e.g. industrial hammer). Start treating weapons just the same way as you treat consumables, and you will never think back about it. /thread P.S. Thanks for the awesome game, it's more addictive than cocaine!
