Days Gone is an action-adventure game played from the third-person view. Players control Deacon St. John (Sam Witwer), a Drifter and former bounty hunter who prefers to live a dangerous life on the road over living in wilderness encampments.
The game takes place two years after a global pandemic occurred which killed almost all of humanity, but transformed millions of others into "Freakers", mindless zombie-like creatures that are quickly evolving.
