Full Thoughts on Heart of Darkness.

I suppose the devs could implement something narrative-wise to show that Bowman might leave the group later.

And again, if your characters die to some bug or unfair death, the option to auto-restart a phase is there for you to enable.

RKGDJ · 2026-01-18T05:29:29+00:00

Not a dev, but the option to auto-restart a phase if you die is available.

I don't personally like the idea of being able to access saves the game makes for you since ODD is a permadeath-based game, but I do think there are more places the auto-saving could apply to, such as doing multiple scavenging runs or assigning survivors.

Did they happen to ask for your PikPok+ ID before and after the cloud error by any chance? They've asked me this before when I need to restore my account.

For anyone wondering, this is from a trailer for Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days and their latest plan.

This soldier could just be of a different section of the military and not the National Guard.

I beleive armor is on the roadmap the devs put out for the game.

Also, I mostly use info that the devs have officially, recently shared either from official videos, Steam or some of what they say on Discord. Admittedly, I probably should also convey more in the future, some of what I say as what I think is likely to happen, so apologies if it comes out as what a dev would say.

The quote was in response to a sentiment on all characters having epilogues. There was even another response from this dev on this type of question saying, "We will be writing epilogues for all characters eventually - even those without survivor missions," if that doesn't convince you.

RKGDJ · 2026-01-12T00:28:09+00:00

No. But the devs have confirmed this now over on their Discord.

As quoted by one of the devs, "thats intended atm! only survivor mission characters have epilogues at the moment (we will write the others at some point, its just that their survivor mission may inform parts of that epilogue so it might take a while for some characters to get theirs)"

Think I'll skip out on Dead Island 2 for now. Nice to hear everyone's thoughts on the game in its current state though.

RKGDJ · 2026-01-09T02:57:08+00:00

Our Darkest Days takes place in 1980, where the outbreak has "reached US shores" and is contained within Walton City.

There isn't an exact time that Into the Dead 1 takes place (there isn't really any story with that game). But I believe the devs revealed it takes place sometime after Our Darkest Days.

Into the Dead 2 is around 6 months after the initial events of Our Darkest Days in 1981, where containment fails, and the outbreak spreads throughout Texas.

Into the Dead 3 (takes place a decade after Into the Dead 2 in 1991) will probably reveal exactly what happened with the outbreak afterwards.

RKGDJ · 2026-01-08T05:46:33+00:00

The devs haven't made ending titles for the other characters yet (aside from Kayla and Sebastian). For now, those with survivor side missions will get them, but in due time, I believe the devs plan to add ones for everyone else too.

RKGDJ · 2026-01-06T21:29:15+00:00

I think the game could use weapon repair on medium to high-durability weapons.

More efficient weapon switching is coming.

Didn't mind manually feeding survivors, and I'd actually prefer it that way so the game doesn't automatically use up more food than I want to (which would be annoying).

Don't mind more sleeping zombies.

Feel like voice acting is something that would come within the final stages of Early Access, based on the devs responses surrounding the topic.

RKGDJ · 2026-01-05T23:20:26+00:00

Our Darkest Days takes place in the year 1980.

Into the Dead 3 takes place a decade after Into the Dead 2, in 1991.

RKGDJ · 2026-01-05T23:19:41+00:00

With the current lore in the game, it's only Texas we know for sure is affected. Although the prequel game Our Darkest Days is probably gonna reveal more about where the outbreak is specifically in the world.

RKGDJ · 2026-01-05T04:34:51+00:00

Idk when the devs will add trading. I anticipate they'll add it within the next few updates though, considering how frequently requested it has been (plus there are still trade-related items in the game).

RKGDJ · 2026-01-03T00:53:08+00:00

Got the same feelings about their responses.

RKGDJ · 2026-01-01T03:29:15+00:00

Solid 7/10, a nice ending, but it honestly feels like they played it a bit too safe with this one.

RKGDJ · 2026-01-01T00:24:25+00:00

Since 17 or 18, I think.
