RPGSimulatorAdventureIndieHorrorSurvival

The epitome of a modern traditional roguelike: with turn-based play and a RPG-like skill progression system, it hearkens back to some of the major aspects of this genre. This game has an incredible depth, with a deep inventory system, vehicles and boats, NPCs with their own stories, and more.

What is Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead about?

You emerge from the shelter into the dim light of an overcast day, and look around for the first time since the disaster. The world as you knew it is gone and in its place, a twisted mockery of all that was once familiar. Everything was cast aside in that frantic race for the shelter. You have no food, nothing to drink, no weapons. Nothing but your ingenuity and the fierce determination to survive against appalling odds. A grim prospect faces you. Perhaps worse even than the nightmares of last night, when you were tortured by dreams of the dead themselves rising to jealously tear life from the living. You cast your eyes up the road and begin to walk towards a house in the far distance. Things may be bad right now, but you've got a sinking feeling that there are darker days ahead.

Should I stream Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 145 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 145 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 145 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

Is Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead too saturated on Twitch?

  • Good game, DO NOT BUY ON STEAM. You can get this, more updated and more supported, for free off the official website/discord. This is a free game which has been repackaged, not by the original developers, and charged for. Just get it from the official channels…
