Dismal Dreams is a relentless RPG, where the judgement of daylight is all but gone.
Guide a troubled Sammy Fraud and happy go lucky William Peacher through an uncaring and hostile world, it may take a few attempts. Rummage and explore through what's left of civilization in it's thrown together district; the Dam.
Make use of anything you can find to protect yourself, however unusual. Each weapon comes with it's own unique skillset/playstyle, no senseless killing and grinding to unlock new skills. Even something mundane like a mop or a flashlight have their own distinct purpose in combat.
Be prepared for anything, every encounter in the game is unique and presents a different challenge beyond higher stats. No two enemies share the same attack. Pick your battles wisely, you're not a bloodthirsty monster, you're a survivor.
