Gameplay
Days Gone is an action-adventure
survival horror game set in a post-apocalyptic open world, played from a
third-person perspective. The player controls Deacon St. John, a former
outlaw-turned-drifter and bounty hunter who prefers life on the road to
wilderness encampments. The game takes place two years after a global pandemic
occurred which killed almost all of humanity, and transformed millions of others
into "Freakers", mindless zombie-like creatures that are quickly
evolving.
