Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days Controls (PC & Xbox)

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, Misc. Guides / 11 Feb 2025

1980s Walton City is serving up a zombie apocalypse hotter than its infamous heatwave. You’re the unlikely leader of a ragtag group just trying to see tomorrow without becoming walker chow. Scavenging, crafting, and managing terrified survivors is tough; doing it while fumbling the controls is basically suicide by butterfingers.

Before you accidentally hug a zombie you meant to shank, get these controls down. Think of this guide as the cheat sheet separating the survivors from the soon-to-be-shambling. Learn it fast. Your life (and theirs) literally depends on it.
