About Left Behind - The day He returned

THE RAPTURE HAPPENED. YOU WERE LEFT BEHIND.

Clothes lie where people vanished. Houses stand empty. In the cemetery, the ground is breaking open.

You wake at your own grave with an angel waiting beside it. Your charge is to fight until the Day of Judgement, armed with the weapons of this world and the miracles of Scripture.

Left Behind: The Day He Returned is a top-down action RPG with fast combat, deep loot, and survival systems. Tear through the risen dead with guns, blades, and biblical powers. Search a deserted forest town, build your survivor, and fight alone or online with up to three friends.

GUNFIRE, STEEL, AND SCRIPTURE

Unload a shotgun into the horde, finish the survivors with a machete, then call down Fire from Heaven.

Fight with pistols, rifles, shotguns, machine guns, flamethrowers, nail guns, chainsaws, and improvised weapons. Throw Molotovs, lay traps, and use explosives when the street fills with dead.

Noise carries. Gunshots and car alarms draw enemies toward you. Every human who falls can rise again, including your allies. Destroy the head before the body gets back up.

FIVE SURVIVORS. THIRTY MIRACLES.

Choose who you were before the world changed: a Police Officer, Inmate, Pastor, Scientist, or former bomb maker seeking redemption.

Each class starts with its own equipment and has four skill trees, including six biblical miracles. Develop your attributes, unlock new abilities, and shape your approach to combat.

Unleash the Plague of Locusts. Shatter the horde with Walls of Jericho. Cast Out Legion, summon Thunder on Sinai, or heal the survivors fighting beside you.

Miracles consume Faith. Find a cross or kneel with your Bible to recover it. Choose your moment carefully: taking a hit interrupts your prayer.

EVERY EMPTY HOUSE HAS SOMETHING LEFT

Search furnished homes, shops, garages, the church, and the police station. Open wardrobes, raid pantries, crack gun safes, and check abandoned cars.

A locked car might be worth forcing open. Its alarm might bring the whole street down on you.

Discover equipment across Normal, Magic, Rare, Set, and Unique rarities. Compare random bonuses, take unidentified finds to the chaplain, socket your armour, and fit your guns with attachments.

TURN SCRAP INTO YOUR NEXT CHANCE

Dismantle unwanted gear at the workbench and put the parts to use.

Nearly 500 recipes cover weapons, armour, ammunition, medicine, food, and supplies. Crafted equipment matches your level and can roll Magic or Rare bonuses.

Keep the gun you trust loaded, prepare healing supplies, and build the equipment your next trip demands.

PREPARE FOR NIGHTFALL

Hunger, thirst, and energy drain as you explore and fight. Ammunition runs out. Flashlights burn through batteries.

Day turns to night, weather shifts with the seasons, and more enemies roam after sunset. Beyond the reach of your light, the town disappears into darkness.

Rest in a bed to make it your respawn point. If you fall, your equipped gear stays with you, but the contents of your bag remain where you died. Getting them back means returning to the fight.

BRING SOMEONE YOU TRUST

Recruit survivors, equip your companions, and order them to follow, hold position, or guard an area. Keep them alive. A fallen ally can become the next enemy.

Or open your campaign to up to four players online. Bring your own survivor and equipment, fight through the host's world, trade supplies, and coordinate through voice and text chat. Challenge a friend to a duel without losing your gear.

KEEP MOVING

Find a skateboard, kick scooter, or roller skates and fight while riding. Shoot into a pursuing pack or swing as you pass, but watch for hits that can knock you off.

Explore to uncover the automap, meet the soldiers holding Main Street, recruit allies through quests, and follow the radio signal toward the road north.

The Wretched Caller stands in your way.
