Leonardo Interactive and Invader Studios announced that Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle, the prequel to the critically acclaimed survival horror game Daymare:1998, will be coming to consoles and PC in 2023.

Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is a third-person story-driven survival horror game prequel to the critically acclaimed Daymare: 1998. Step into the shoes of special agent Dalila Reyes, a former government spy now in the service of a unit called H.A.D.E.S. (Hexacore Advanced Division for Extraction and Search), and get ready to enter the most advanced experimental research center in the United States of America. Be careful though, because in the darkness of the desolate, labyrinthine depths of the military research center there is something terrifying and lethal awaiting you!

It’s time to discover the truth about the terrifying events of Keen Sight, the small town tucked away in the endless woods of Idaho and location of Daymare: 1998. But in order to uncover these dark secrets, you must go back to where it all began. Back to 1994.
