@@TranPlays People were really just doing small careless things that annoyed everyone who played This War of Mine like leaving doors open and panick running through the whole area after getting spotted and alerting everything. Thank you for playing like a true gamer!
Ikr. I got so mad watching one UA-camr panic running, ended up alerting half the police station and ended up dying when he could simply just kill that one zombie that got alerted
They're not playing badly, they're playing blind. If they get the enemy AI memorize, and the player adapt to anything, anyone can do it too with hard work. In my case, I'll still suck at this.
@@sainttan It wasn't because they were first timers exploring and missing a few stuff. It was purely their actions. One thing nearly all of them do that I hate is leave doors open with zombies on the other side or attacking every zombie they see before they've scouted out an area ahead so they panic when 2 or 3 come outta nowhere and kill them.

You deserve way more views, I've seen people play this game that have hundreds of thousands of views and they absolutely suck at the game. Keep doing your thing
Thank you for watching! When making this video, I wondered if this video would influence _Into the Dead_ players to try stealth to save on weapon durability.
The hiding at the stairs and ladders is a weird mechanic, especially with the seethrough ones. Really amazing run. It's probably how the game is meant to be played, and this kinda reminded me of open world driving games, when you get the urge to play it with proper traffic rules.
I'm not really sure what "pre-alpha demo" really means, but that's the phrase the developers use for the current state of the game. I can only surmise they hope to achieve at least two iterations of monumental development between now and release day. There's a ton of little things that add up, but the game was still fun to play. The biggest complaint people have about the game: is the game's fragile weapons, such as crumbly crowbars and flimsy fire axes -- I would be one of them, as I dislike durability systems in general. Personally, the stealth mechanic is shown here to be work-able, but it feels far better and more reasonable to kill the zombie instead. It would be cool if this Perfect Run started players playing a more stealth-oriented mindset; maybe this really is the way we're expected to play! Since unreliable weapons is an intentional facet of the game, I assume at least one build will feature more weapons in searchable containers and easier ways to craft them. My biggest concern with the game's vision system is that all doorways are permanently opaque, so you'd have no idea there's anyone near a wall or not. You can see this a little bit before I enter the locker room of the fire department (34:30). 2D objects blocking your perspective was a gimmick that was played for minor comedic effect way back in Space Quest, but really has no place here. While I anticipate developers might not readily adjust durability, I can very much see them fixing this vision problem. The zombies can also typically see at a greater range than the player can, which you can see happen in the police station at the end (1:00:00). That zombie is always there and standing stock still to stare at the locked door. One of my first attempts ended because my character hid on the second marker, which is the wrong side of the counter; and you _still_ can't even see the zombie from there. That's actually why I hesitated in the prior room and decided to re-open the left door to the stairwell, in case I got caught by him. I remember trying Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and following traffic laws. 🤓
@@TranPlays Alpha is basically a working game concept lacking planned features.

They're the best survivors, no question. Daphne is excellent for base management with Penny being a strong anomaly in scavenging. I don't know if Sneaky will pay dividends in the full game, as the developers probably want any character to be able to accomplish certain tasks, but it does at least make going through zones faster.
plot twist: Penny's backstory of violent tendencies and intrusive thoughts were from her past life as a guerilla assassin 🔫 or a seriel killer in the making 🔪
I'll take that as a good thing! I also want to call it a speedrun, but there are some stealth segments where I have to wait for zombies to get out of my way; when it's faster to eat a hit or to kill the zombie with one of my many weapons. I wasn't sure people would feel I was misusing the term.
I don't know if stealth is the developers' intention, but I just didn't want to deal with the weapon durability mechanic. Thank you for watching the video! I appreciate everyone who has dropped by to check it out.
I wrote down every container in the game in my first two playthroughs before starting this Perfect Run. I'd release my information as a Steam guide, but I don't think you can do that until you actually have the game in your library!
Thank You Sir !!! This sate my thirst for a great gameplay, since those noobs who upload the game play the game HORRIBLE !!! If i dont lost my laptop i will play this game myself. Since i done this war of mine 100% perfect, and other games too. Again... THANK YOU FOR YOUR GAMEPLAY. I REALLY ENJOY THIS
It's great to hear you enjoyed it! I can understand it is frustrating to see people make mistakes you don't feel you'd make. Those kinds of videos might get more traction because they prompt more viewer engagement!
Your guide is really good. I already tried a lot of times but I cant explore all areas and get all survivors within 7 days. Not to mention, not getting a single hit from zombies with good strategy play. Respect and like your video bro 👍
I appreciate that you're finding the guide useful, and that you checked out _The Perfect Run_ video. My run was something more of a, "If weapons are going to be this way, I'm just going to avoid using them," and eventually turned into this!
Curious if you take notes or if is all from memory for each zombie situation as far as how they move. It seems you have the timing perfected. Thank you for all your work. Im a 3rd shift maintenance guy and I watched this while listening to presses bang away lol.
I took notes then committed them to memory. This is why I do something like running past the last kitchen zombie in the Fire Station to take a single fastener, since there are seventeen total. Well, fasteners stack in groups of four, so if I bring home 16, that's four whole stacks and nothing is wasted.
This game has a lot of potentials. I hope there is more zombie types and different game modes. I wish you have to defend your shelter from a horde of zombies lol or upgrade it with fences.
I'm personally not a fan of zombie types or running zombies, but Our Darkest Days is a branch of their main mobile game, Into the Dead; to my knowledge, that game has different zombie types, so we can expect to see new ones in the future.
I love how most of the comments are like 'Everyone else sucks at this!' as if this isn't a demo and people are just /learning/ how to play. Get over yourselves lmao. Good video, Op.
I think it can be frustrating to notice something a video creator missed. I know when I'm recording and trying to talk, I've missed obvious stuff like the game telling me where an enemy wave will attack from. Thank you for your compliment.
38:25 roof zombie got bamboozled 🤣 best one so far because weapons conservation via stealth missions is the way to go tbh. A lot of others didn’t channel their solid snake
The game is misleading in that sneak attack kills are good to watch and hear, so you think this is a game where you put down any zombie slowing you down. Maybe that _is_ the eventual intention, but the surprisingly fragile weapons hinder that as a goal. I can play it either way, but I'd rather it be the action-y one!
Makeshift Axe & Makeshift Machete are available. Also the Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and Hunting Rifle are unlocked, but the requisite components not in the game yet.
While I'm personally not a fan of the endless zombie games pouring out ever since Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising, this one was certainly an enjoyable game.
The earlier scenes, you were like a ninja, stealth killing this idiots. Saving all available Player Characters, securing resources and managing resources. The later part, is show casing your duking skills and limitation of enemy AI, while conserving weapons and resources.
Unfortunately, you have to kill all zombies in a shelter in order to move forward with the game. I've tried letting them all out the door, but it doesn't count. My pacifism was fueled by my aversion to the weapon durability system.
I hope to get the chance, too! The wife took a peek at my analytics this morning and was proud of the reception for this video, so I'm sure she'll support that when the game comes out.
It took a bit of practice to get right. If you move too quickly or the zombie is too close to the window, he doesn't have time to see you and try to chase. It's completely unnecessary, but I really liked showcasing it!
(Google Translate comment to English): Hmm... Professional, it's a pity that no one can complete State of the Decade 2 on the last difficulty level as well. I don't know what the final level of difficulty is. I don't think that was around when I played State of Decay 2, but there are several playthroughs on my channel for that game when it was first released. (Google Translate response to Russian): Я не знаю, какой у меня финальный уровень сложности. Не думаю, что он был, когда я играл в State of Decay 2, но на моем канале есть несколько прохождений этой игры, когда она только вышла.
They still have good morale! It's just that the positive bonus (buff) called "Hope" disappears after five turns when I completed "Strange Markings" hinting at help from the sewers. I gain it again once I complete a second plan of evacuation, Remain Calm, in the Walton Taxi Depot. Executing the plans themselves is not available in the demo, but collecting the puzzle pieces is. The Hope status increases morale for every one of the five phases it is in effect. It's like the inverse of "Gnawing Hunger" for food which reduces your morale for every turn it isn't raised above a certain threshold.
@@TranPlays Dang, this game has more interconnecting features than I thought. I noticed that people don't really limp around at low health but otherwise they improved upon everything in This War of Mine! Apologies for always comparing the 2 but you can see the inspiration!
Hi there,this was a perfect run! But I have a question: How is your melee weapons last longer? Are you doing something specific? Because my weapons breake much quicker even I use the same character.
Weapons have a range of when they can break. For example, the scissors you find in the beginning can break on the second sneak attack, or the third sneak attack. Sneak attacks will get you the most efficiency for your durability as opposed to fighting, but there's still some randomness to it. If you need more help, I also posted a guide that gives three pointers for fighting bare-handed.
As of right now, this is everything in the game. There are listed areas that players cannot go to during the demo, such as a gun store, and I'm confident there will be more areas that weren't even hinted at in the pre-alpha demo. There will probably be more features as well that weren't shown, such as level 3 workbench tools and other guns not present in this build. The development team, PikPok, expects to release the game in 2025.
I kept giggling at you leaving behind med items because you weren't planning on taking damage! Love it. Can't wait to play the full release of this game. This was the best gameplay I've seen, by far. I was so annoyed with the other playthroughs where nobody was using stealth strats and getting killed. Thank you for showcasing this game so beautifully.
If I can be called a veteran! I think I played an early version of This War of Mine, since I don't remember kids being a part of it, but apparently you can have them as characters now? I wanted to make a speedrun video of it at the time, but I was too slow to really release any videos.
Отличное прохождение! После других ютуберов, это видео словно глоток свежего воздуха. Никаких глупых действий или нелепых смертей, только скилл. Сколько уже наиграл часов?
(Google Translate) Q from @SlashNcash: Great walkthrough! After other UA-camrs, this video is like a breath of fresh air. No stupid actions or ridiculous deaths, just skill. How many hours have you played already? A: I have played over 70 hours so far, but to make this video was 50. Some of that time is me just taking notes, planning an order to do things, or trying to script a guide video. (Google Translate) A: На данный момент я наиграл более 70 часов, но на создание этого видео ушло 50. Часть этого времени я просто делаю заметки, планирую порядок выполнения задач или пытаюсь написать сценарий видеоруководства.
@@TranPlays Wow, so much time on demo without achivments. I guess you know this game (demo) pretty much better then average player or maybe dev. Coz idk which beta tester will play the same thing for 70 hours. "Did i ever tell you the definition of insanity is?" jk. By the way, one youtuber with 300k sub watched your video and also decided to try to play stealth, well... he tryed... (yandex translate a little bit)
Hello! Thank you for wanting to know more about what I was thinking. Mostly frustration and hope that I don't get hit. Especially the part in the police station. I really messed up on everything after the interrogation mirror attack. 😄 I do have a commentary playthrough as well, but just of my first run at the game. The first video in the playlist can be launched here through this spaghetti-code address: ua-cam.com/video/vAyZF8pLBjs/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
Enjoying the playthrough like the way you go about it. 9/10 amazing game wish the developers would have implemented a survivor's Nemesis system where you can either recruit, fight, hide from or bargain with other surviors
I doubt it will be similar to Shadow of War's Nemesis system, but they do plan on adding hostile humans. They'll likely be tied to a specific map, so I don't think there's going to be any sort of rivalry between you and them; more like This War of Mine. But that's just my prediction.
It's been a long time since I played This War is Mine, but I think this game was easier because there were fewer random events that just messed you up out of nowhere. Yes, zombies randomly smash a barricade every phase or two, but it's not like my guys were left bleeding or extra sad because of some random number generator I could do nothing about. This pre-alpha demo also does not have any sort of time limit in terms of how long you can take in any phase. Meaning I could sit and think while at the base, or while scavenging, all I want; and I don't have to worry about "getting back too late" and getting hurt because of it. Finally, the zombies and item drops are mostly predictable. If I recall correctly, in This War is Mine, you would be randomly given which locations you can search. A place full of food one time might not exist for you in your next playthrough. In This War is Mine, the base management portions were much more involved, but had more risk or consequences associated with it. In this first build of Into the Dead, the primary risk are the zombies in the action phase.
This one is the seventh video in the playlist. There is a commentated playthrough that is slower paced since it's my first run. It can be found at ua-cam.com/video/vAyZF8pLBjs/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
Thank you for the kind words! I hope to be able to cover the full game. I had sent in a request back in July expressing my interest, and filled out a form on their website last weekend as well. Hopefully they'll consider me as a good candidate!
@@TranPlays of course dude! I hope they pick you! Also, the part where you lure the zombie to throw itself out the window is so fucking funny how did you discover that?
In one of my earlier runs, I was trying to hang from a ledge to break the line of sight, and the zombies started falling out after me instead. After that, I knew I wanted to include it in my Perfect Run to show off! I'm really glad you noticed it. I did a less cool version in the taxi depot just to flex on the zombies.
@@TranPlays Oh dude I lost it laughing when I first saw it, it’s this amazing tension and then the zombie throws itself out the window like it’s Loony Toons. I’ll make sure to keep an eye out for it when I catch up to you in the demo.
Yeah, it was part of the inspiration for doing this "Pacifism" run. (I stop short of calling it "Pacifism" or "No Kill" because you do have to clear a shelter to move out of the first zone.) I thought there was a slim possibility I could influence the way people played the pre-alpha demo if I didn't rely on weapons! I kept seeing online people lose survivors in the Presbyterian Church.
I can’t for the life of me get fire station number 8 to load. It constantly crashes my old soldier of a laptop T_T gtx1050 xD I’ll have to settle for a let’s-play
Took me a while to figure out what you meant! Yeah, it's just voices for a little while. If I didn't do that, though, there would by copyrighted music playing from the arcade area.
Just wondering, when you just move to the location, do you automatically loot all the resource at that location? Or is this just speed run that didnt matter? Cuz I didnt see you loot anything in record store, and just moved in
I wonder what will happen to the remaining items after you move your shelter to the location? Will those items be automatically transferred to your storage or will they be lost forever?
When you move to a new shelter, you take all of your old items and stations but leave the barricades; any items in the new shelter location are transferred to your inventory, even if you haven't lockpicked it or searched it. Currently, your barricades can get attacked even when first arriving, so returning to an old shelter with low barricades can result in the zombies breaking in, which is just a character damage report window.
They probably didn't include any survivors since everyone miraculously joins you without any resources; and people would probably be asking why they got a police officer with no weapons. 😇
Thank you for the kind words. While making this video, it was at least 50 hours. Since then, I've added 20 more working towards the next video, aimed to be a tips and tricks video.
But you do unlock more players and can stealth it out, but still some of those weapons shouldn't be breaking too easily, I wouldn't want to sacrifice my survivors,,.. this game is so stressful lol
A lot of people, myself included, do feel the durability mechanic is a bit over emphasized in this game. That was actually the inspiration behind the minimal kills part of this playthrough, which fed into other parts like speedrunning it.
Yeah, that's the most common feedback I'm sure the developers are getting. It was one of the inspirations behind this run, as I wanted to see how much we can avoid, ignore, or rush through. The only weapons the run uses are the ones to clear out shelters, and the rest goes to increasing our stockpile as gamers.
I have not played any of the mobile games, if you're referring to the original franchise. I enjoyed this game a lot! There are some things that I consider blemishes on the game, but it's overall a great package. Any concerns I have, might be pretty much baked into the game at this point: fragile weapons, being locked in place for animations, and "one button does everything and you better hope it's what you wanted."
Maybe it's not implemented yet. But I would assume that it might be simpler to pretend the zombies don't rely on light for vision, so that when the area is dark, the developers don't have to code anything new for it.
Yeah, I can see it. The graphics are a solid move in a positive direction: with the 1970s to 1980 look, variety of colors, and 3D rendering of the buildings. At the moment, the 3D part is really only noticeable when you're spinning around with a flashlight, or making the screen scroll left & right.
I don't know if the demo is out on it, but the game may be loosely planned for a PlayStation release. The Steam version is scheduled with a vague "2025" with consoles "to be determined."
I like how at 35:05 the zombie walks up to ya and says "Dude!"
I never noticed that!! 😆
"Dude, I see you" hahaha 😂
I can't unhear it lmfao
"dude" 🤙
lmao

wow dude, u know exactly was in almost every search spot. You can play it with your eyes closed. Nice Gameplay and tips. Truly nice Game
I wrote down every container in the game in my first two playthroughs before starting this Perfect Run. I'd release my information as a Steam guide, but I don't think you can do that until you actually have the game in your library!
Can't wait to see you tackle the whole game. 💯
I'm definitely looking forward to it. I just hope people still want to see me go for it, with a year to wait!
Love it on how you play with the zombies ankles🤣
Thank You Sir !!!
This sate my thirst for a great gameplay, since those noobs who upload the game play the game HORRIBLE !!!
If i dont lost my laptop i will play this game myself. Since i done this war of mine 100% perfect, and other games too.
Again... THANK YOU FOR YOUR GAMEPLAY. I REALLY ENJOY THIS
It's great to hear you enjoyed it! I can understand it is frustrating to see people make mistakes you don't feel you'd make. Those kinds of videos might get more traction because they prompt more viewer engagement!
Your guide is really good. I already tried a lot of times but I cant explore all areas and get all survivors within 7 days. Not to mention, not getting a single hit from zombies with good strategy play. Respect and like your video bro 👍
I appreciate that you're finding the guide useful, and that you checked out _The Perfect Run_ video. My run was something more of a, "If weapons are going to be this way, I'm just going to avoid using them," and eventually turned into this!
@@TranPlays same here, trying out different groups here to see how it works out. Cheers mate! 😁
Great play! I can't wait for the official edition to come out soon!
I'm absolutely looking forward to it. I just hope the people who enjoyed this video will be back for more.
Clean cut. GZ!
Thank you! I'm glad you watched it!
I might have to pick this one up as I am a fan of This War is Mine.
This War of Mine was a good game. It seems to have been updated a lot since I last played it.
You did it great! thanks for the video
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate everyone who's dropped by!
Curious if you take notes or if is all from memory for each zombie situation as far as how they move. It seems you have the timing perfected. Thank you for all your work. Im a 3rd shift maintenance guy and I watched this while listening to presses bang away lol.
I took notes then committed them to memory. This is why I do something like running past the last kitchen zombie in the Fire Station to take a single fastener, since there are seventeen total. Well, fasteners stack in groups of four, so if I bring home 16, that's four whole stacks and nothing is wasted.
I am impressed, like really impressed.
I'm grateful for everyone who has shown their encouragement for this video! I normally only see a couple people check out my videos.
This is beautiful to watch.
I'm so glad people are enjoying the video! I've kept the wife updated on how the video is doing and she always sounds proud.
this war of mine style zombie game is something I didn't know I wanted O.O
Welcome to... "This Zombie of Mine."
Might be a catchier title than Our Darkest Days, but I suppose I'll have to see the game's plot first.
Dang that gameplay was flawless!
Thank you for your encouragement and support!
This game has a lot of potentials. I hope there is more zombie types and different game modes. I wish you have to defend your shelter from a horde of zombies lol or upgrade it with fences.
I'm personally not a fan of zombie types or running zombies, but Our Darkest Days is a branch of their main mobile game, Into the Dead; to my knowledge, that game has different zombie types, so we can expect to see new ones in the future.
I love how most of the comments are like 'Everyone else sucks at this!' as if this isn't a demo and people are just /learning/ how to play. Get over yourselves lmao. Good video, Op.
I think it can be frustrating to notice something a video creator missed. I know when I'm recording and trying to talk, I've missed obvious stuff like the game telling me where an enemy wave will attack from. Thank you for your compliment.
omg the movement is OP
Thank you for the strong praise!
Beautiful!
Thank you for appreciating the video!
You're literally a ninja. Good job.😂🇦🇺
It'd be amazing if they added a ninja survivor named Tran to the game.
38:25 roof zombie got bamboozled 🤣 best one so far because weapons conservation via stealth missions is the way to go tbh. A lot of others didn’t channel their solid snake
The game is misleading in that sneak attack kills are good to watch and hear, so you think this is a game where you put down any zombie slowing you down. Maybe that _is_ the eventual intention, but the surprisingly fragile weapons hinder that as a goal. I can play it either way, but I'd rather it be the action-y one!
@ either way, really nice run. It Was fun to watch
Finally after seeing others on youtube suck at the game you break it.
Which weqpons can you craft from lvl 3 weapons bench?
Makeshift Axe & Makeshift Machete are available. Also the Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and Hunting Rifle are unlocked, but the requisite components not in the game yet.
This game looks really neat. A zombie version of This War of Mine, is a great idea.
While I'm personally not a fan of the endless zombie games pouring out ever since Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising, this one was certainly an enjoyable game.
10:45 so THATS how you silence the frying pan kill sound 😂
I like to think Penny killed him with her mind powers, and the frying pan was just an iron offering to an abominable eldritch horror!
The earlier scenes, you were like a ninja, stealth killing this idiots. Saving all available Player Characters, securing resources and managing resources.
The later part, is show casing your duking skills and limitation of enemy AI, while conserving weapons and resources.
Unfortunately, you have to kill all zombies in a shelter in order to move forward with the game. I've tried letting them all out the door, but it doesn't count. My pacifism was fueled by my aversion to the weapon durability system.
Cant wait for them to release this for consoles!
真是太厲害了˙消防局跟警察局.南北2邊都跑了˙
57:08, that explosion in the background though
nicely done I hope you will play the full game when it comes out.
I hope to get the chance, too! The wife took a peek at my analytics this morning and was proud of the reception for this video, so I'm sure she'll support that when the game comes out.
Waiting while hangin on the window and let the zombie fall is genius! Idk that we can do that😂
It took a bit of practice to get right. If you move too quickly or the zombie is too close to the window, he doesn't have time to see you and try to chase. It's completely unnecessary, but I really liked showcasing it!
Хм... Профессионал, жалко что никто не может так же качественно пройти State of the Decade 2 на последнем уровне сложности.
(Google Translate comment to English): Hmm... Professional, it's a pity that no one can complete State of the Decade 2 on the last difficulty level as well.
I don't know what the final level of difficulty is. I don't think that was around when I played State of Decay 2, but there are several playthroughs on my channel for that game when it was first released.
(Google Translate response to Russian): Я не знаю, какой у меня финальный уровень сложности. Не думаю, что он был, когда я играл в State of Decay 2, но на моем канале есть несколько прохождений этой игры, когда она только вышла.
@TranPlays 😎👍🔥💪👏🤝
41:59 How the heck are they all losing hope when they're all in peak shape and finding survivors?
They still have good morale! It's just that the positive bonus (buff) called "Hope" disappears after five turns when I completed "Strange Markings" hinting at help from the sewers. I gain it again once I complete a second plan of evacuation, Remain Calm, in the Walton Taxi Depot. Executing the plans themselves is not available in the demo, but collecting the puzzle pieces is.
The Hope status increases morale for every one of the five phases it is in effect. It's like the inverse of "Gnawing Hunger" for food which reduces your morale for every turn it isn't raised above a certain threshold.
@@TranPlays Dang, this game has more interconnecting features than I thought. I noticed that people don't really limp around at low health but otherwise they improved upon everything in This War of Mine! Apologies for always comparing the 2 but you can see the inspiration!
Hi there,this was a perfect run! But I have a question: How is your melee weapons last longer? Are you doing something specific? Because my weapons breake much quicker even I use the same character.
Weapons have a range of when they can break. For example, the scissors you find in the beginning can break on the second sneak attack, or the third sneak attack. Sneak attacks will get you the most efficiency for your durability as opposed to fighting, but there's still some randomness to it. If you need more help, I also posted a guide that gives three pointers for fighting bare-handed.
the game looks really cool. Is like this war of mine but with zombies. This is all the game?
As of right now, this is everything in the game. There are listed areas that players cannot go to during the demo, such as a gun store, and I'm confident there will be more areas that weren't even hinted at in the pre-alpha demo. There will probably be more features as well that weren't shown, such as level 3 workbench tools and other guns not present in this build. The development team, PikPok, expects to release the game in 2025.
@@TranPlays when does the demo end? After 7ish days in game? Or after you get past a certain store?
@@mb10637ends on August 28th in game
I don't have time to play so i watch. That all thanks😂
I appreciate you watching. This is a fast and complete run through of the pre-alpha.
I kept giggling at you leaving behind med items because you weren't planning on taking damage! Love it. Can't wait to play the full release of this game. This was the best gameplay I've seen, by far. I was so annoyed with the other playthroughs where nobody was using stealth strats and getting killed. Thank you for showcasing this game so beautifully.
I really appreciate the detailed comment! I'm glad my video was able to provide you with both amusement and satisfaction.
FINALY!✊
Ok, Im subscribing 😂
Welcome aboard! There's only a few _No Damage_ runs I've done on the channel, such as Retaliate and My Friend Pedro.
I smell a this war of mine veteran right here
If I can be called a veteran! I think I played an early version of This War of Mine, since I don't remember kids being a part of it, but apparently you can have them as characters now? I wanted to make a speedrun video of it at the time, but I was too slow to really release any videos.
Отличное прохождение! После других ютуберов, это видео словно глоток свежего воздуха. Никаких глупых действий или нелепых смертей, только скилл. Сколько уже наиграл часов?
(Google Translate) Q from @SlashNcash: Great walkthrough! After other UA-camrs, this video is like a breath of fresh air. No stupid actions or ridiculous deaths, just skill. How many hours have you played already?
A: I have played over 70 hours so far, but to make this video was 50. Some of that time is me just taking notes, planning an order to do things, or trying to script a guide video.
(Google Translate) A: На данный момент я наиграл более 70 часов, но на создание этого видео ушло 50. Часть этого времени я просто делаю заметки, планирую порядок выполнения задач или пытаюсь написать сценарий видеоруководства.
@@TranPlays Wow, so much time on demo without achivments. I guess you know this game (demo) pretty much better then average player or maybe dev. Coz idk which beta tester will play the same thing for 70 hours. "Did i ever tell you the definition of insanity is?" jk. By the way, one youtuber with 300k sub watched your video and also decided to try to play stealth, well... he tryed... (yandex translate a little bit)
4:53 Why does she walk like she’s holding back a turd? Peeking turtle, hidden streaks.
First impression looks similar to This War of Mine but with zombies, game looks amazing tho
It plays very well, especially for one that is labelled as "pre-alpha."
Please play it when the full game comes
I'll definitely do my best! I hope to see you there when it happens.
@TranPlays me too
Gameplay deserves commentary without webcam, would like to know your mind and thoughts while playing
Hello! Thank you for wanting to know more about what I was thinking. Mostly frustration and hope that I don't get hit. Especially the part in the police station. I really messed up on everything after the interrogation mirror attack. 😄
I do have a commentary playthrough as well, but just of my first run at the game. The first video in the playlist can be launched here through this spaghetti-code address: ua-cam.com/video/vAyZF8pLBjs/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
This run was so perfect it was kind of boring... But still, big respect 💯
Enjoying the playthrough like the way you go about it. 9/10 amazing game wish the developers would have implemented a survivor's Nemesis system where you can either recruit, fight, hide from or bargain with other surviors
I doubt it will be similar to Shadow of War's Nemesis system, but they do plan on adding hostile humans. They'll likely be tied to a specific map, so I don't think there's going to be any sort of rivalry between you and them; more like This War of Mine. But that's just my prediction.
For you, the game feels like this war of mine? Or is it more difficult?
but i like you video
It's been a long time since I played This War is Mine, but I think this game was easier because there were fewer random events that just messed you up out of nowhere. Yes, zombies randomly smash a barricade every phase or two, but it's not like my guys were left bleeding or extra sad because of some random number generator I could do nothing about.
This pre-alpha demo also does not have any sort of time limit in terms of how long you can take in any phase. Meaning I could sit and think while at the base, or while scavenging, all I want; and I don't have to worry about "getting back too late" and getting hurt because of it.
Finally, the zombies and item drops are mostly predictable. If I recall correctly, in This War is Mine, you would be randomly given which locations you can search. A place full of food one time might not exist for you in your next playthrough. In This War is Mine, the base management portions were much more involved, but had more risk or consequences associated with it. In this first build of Into the Dead, the primary risk are the zombies in the action phase.
🎉Awesome
Thank you!
Would be great to have the similar run but with every other duos
And maybe like more walkthrough playstyle u kinda rushing it
This one is the seventh video in the playlist. There is a commentated playthrough that is slower paced since it's my first run. It can be found at ua-cam.com/video/vAyZF8pLBjs/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
This was great! Do you think you’ll cover the full game?
Thank you for the kind words! I hope to be able to cover the full game. I had sent in a request back in July expressing my interest, and filled out a form on their website last weekend as well. Hopefully they'll consider me as a good candidate!
@@TranPlays of course dude! I hope they pick you!
Also, the part where you lure the zombie to throw itself out the window is so fucking funny how did you discover that?
In one of my earlier runs, I was trying to hang from a ledge to break the line of sight, and the zombies started falling out after me instead. After that, I knew I wanted to include it in my Perfect Run to show off! I'm really glad you noticed it. I did a less cool version in the taxi depot just to flex on the zombies.
@@TranPlays Oh dude I lost it laughing when I first saw it, it’s this amazing tension and then the zombie throws itself out the window like it’s Loony Toons.
I’ll make sure to keep an eye out for it when I catch up to you in the demo.
i just realized, this game have same title as zombie runner game
I never heard of the running game until I played this, but it's done by the same people. I'm not sure if it takes place in the same world, though.
Hoping its story based, more polished. I lobed this war of mine and i hope something like raids or stealing is added, idk tho.
According to a press release from intothedead.com, Our Darkest Days will have you "fending off the living and the dead in combat."
why did you not collect the loots in value records?
Because when you move bases (to value records) you gain all loot at that location
7:44 when mom burns my tendies
10:44 お前スタンド使いだな？
I hope picpok fix the weapon durability issue cause unlike This War Of Mine malee weapons easily brake apart after killing 2 or 3 enemies
Yeah, it was part of the inspiration for doing this "Pacifism" run. (I stop short of calling it "Pacifism" or "No Kill" because you do have to clear a shelter to move out of the first zone.) I thought there was a slim possibility I could influence the way people played the pre-alpha demo if I didn't rely on weapons! I kept seeing online people lose survivors in the Presbyterian Church.
I can’t for the life of me get fire station number 8 to load. It constantly crashes my old soldier of a laptop T_T gtx1050 xD I’ll have to settle for a let’s-play
The station is the biggest map by far. Thank you for visiting this playthrough.
18:00 YEET
The moment you turn off the effect, it become a lot awkward when the character kill a zombie 🤣
Took me a while to figure out what you meant! Yeah, it's just voices for a little while. If I didn't do that, though, there would by copyrighted music playing from the arcade area.
Do you write any of this down or just remember? I guess not killing every zombie you see helps with running out of weapons. Who knew?
I first wrote it down and then practiced it enough to have it (mostly) down.
Just wondering, when you just move to the location, do you automatically loot all the resource at that location? Or is this just speed run that didnt matter? Cuz I didnt see you loot anything in record store, and just moved in
You automatically clean out any and all items in the shelter. This includes the Galaxy Void Arcade's safe, which asks for a lockpick.
Am I forced to keep moving my shelter? I would like have options and be able to stick with one for upgrades?
You have to move, but you keep your station upgrades. Shelter-specific bonuses, like a water collector or garden, stay put.
I wonder what will happen to the remaining items after you move your shelter to the location? Will those items be automatically transferred to your storage or will they be lost forever?
When you move to a new shelter, you take all of your old items and stations but leave the barricades; any items in the new shelter location are transferred to your inventory, even if you haven't lockpicked it or searched it. Currently, your barricades can get attacked even when first arriving, so returning to an old shelter with low barricades can result in the zombies breaking in, which is just a character damage report window.
@TranPlays Nice! Thank you my friend! That's a really helpful infomation ^^
No survivors at the police station? Sadge
They probably didn't include any survivors since everyone miraculously joins you without any resources; and people would probably be asking why they got a police officer with no weapons. 😇
This is pretty insane, what's your play time on it?
Nice run.
Thank you for the kind words. While making this video, it was at least 50 hours. Since then, I've added 20 more working towards the next video, aimed to be a tips and tricks video.
Naaawwww, the weapons break too easily, make them a bit more durable c'mon noww. Do the zombies like respawn in the non shelter locations??
But you do unlock more players and can stealth it out, but still some of those weapons shouldn't be breaking too easily, I wouldn't want to sacrifice my survivors,,.. this game is so stressful lol
A lot of people, myself included, do feel the durability mechanic is a bit over emphasized in this game. That was actually the inspiration behind the minimal kills part of this playthrough, which fed into other parts like speedrunning it.
Ugh, they seriously have that arcade section, but no streamer-friendly mode so you're not DMCA'd into hell?
Nothing yet, but this is early. I'd like to think they'll do something about it later, given how much word-of-mouth has influenced their game.
I don't like that weapon easily destroyed
Yeah, that's the most common feedback I'm sure the developers are getting. It was one of the inspirations behind this run, as I wanted to see how much we can avoid, ignore, or rush through. The only weapons the run uses are the ones to clear out shelters, and the rest goes to increasing our stockpile as gamers.
Are you one of the ITD players? Seem like you know how to play this game. What do you think of this game?
I have not played any of the mobile games, if you're referring to the original franchise. I enjoyed this game a lot! There are some things that I consider blemishes on the game, but it's overall a great package. Any concerns I have, might be pretty much baked into the game at this point: fragile weapons, being locked in place for animations, and "one button does everything and you better hope it's what you wanted."
I was wondering wen u flash the flashlight on these zombies how come they don't get alerted
Maybe it's not implemented yet. But I would assume that it might be simpler to pretend the zombies don't rely on light for vision, so that when the area is dark, the developers don't have to code anything new for it.
I like gerbils
game even isnt out yet and people are doing perfect runs lol
Why did you turned down effects to zero at the Arcade section?
Noisy sound of the arcade machine booting & light on sound.
The background music of the arcade machines is flagged as copyrighted content.
When this game officially coming out?
Unfortunately, there's no announced date other than 2025.
This game reminds me of (This war of mine Final Cut) game on Xbox
Yeah, I can see it. The graphics are a solid move in a positive direction: with the 1970s to 1980 look, variety of colors, and 3D rendering of the buildings. At the moment, the 3D part is really only noticeable when you're spinning around with a flashlight, or making the screen scroll left & right.
@ yeah I had a hard time trying to figure out how to beet the game
Is there any way we can play this? I just got a ps4 lol
I don't know if the demo is out on it, but the game may be loosely planned for a PlayStation release. The Steam version is scheduled with a vague "2025" with consoles "to be determined."
@ thank you!
Where can I download this game??
store.steampowered.com/app/2239710/Into_the_Dead_Our_Darkest_Days/
Mercer high school????
why mine ended the demo and lost all my progress?
The demo ends after the night phase of August 27th, giving you seven days to play any one run.
Like you skip intros like real speedruns on leader
Thank you. I wanted this to be like a speedrun, which is why I menu so fast.
