Invader Studios and Destructive Creations’ Daymare 1998 has been one of the msot highly anticipated survival-horror games to come out this year, and now that it’s currently available for gamers, plenty of people are taking the opportunity to experience the horror and thrills firsthand. For gamers who picked up a digital copy and need a little help with figuring out where to go and how to solve some of the puzzles, there’s a Daymare 1998 gameplay walkthrough available for you.

YouTuber MKIceandFire has a full playlist for the game, starting from the beginning and working their way all the way up to the end. It’s not terribly long, clocking in at around six hours or so. You can check out the walkthrough for Daymare 1998 below.

The game starts where the demo started. Only this time around there’s a cinematic introduction setting up the general gist of the game’s story.

We then are introduced to the H.A.D.E.S., team who are sent to exterminate the personnel and retrieve a sample of the toxin and extract with the goods.

Chapter 1: Signal Lost

Like in the demo, you’ll take control of Liev and get a briefing on how to use the real-time inventory management system, as well as how to activate the flashlight, aim your weapon, sprint, and interact with the environment.

Follow the pathway to the room with the injured security guard. After talking, kill the security guard and proceed to find the caster gas.

You’ll also learn about slow reloading and fast reloading. If you fast-reload you’ll drop the currently equipped magazine to the ground, leaving any unused ammunition on the clip still inside the magazine. You can fast-reload by simply tapping the reload button once. Hold down the reload button to perform a slow reload button, which will carefully reload the weapon and place any unused ammo back inside your inventory.

Keep this in mind because if you fast-reload while in combat, you may need to go back to the position where you dropped the magazine and retrieve any unused ammunition you may have dropped.

Exit the security office and make your way upstairs.

Make your to the computer terminal with the admiral’s diary and then take the health vial on the counter.

Before you can access the computer terminal you’ll need to restore the power first.
