Step into the Shadows: Total Chaos Brings Survival Horror to a New Level
Prepare to face isolation and fear like never before in Total Chaos, a survival horror experience from Trigger Happy Interactive (the creators of Turbo Overkill) and published by Apogee Entertainment. Launching for PC via Steam in Q2 2025, Total Chaos will also feature Steam VR support currently in development. Fans can get a chilling first taste with a free demo coming early 2025.
A Haunting Descent into Fort Oasis
In Total Chaos, you awaken as a Coast Guardsman stranded on the desolate shores of Fort Oasis, a crumbling mining outpost cloaked in mystery. A lone voice crackles through your radio, urging you to “get to the mines.” But who’s behind the voice? Can you trust them? And why does Fort Oasis feel eerily familiar?
Spanning nine gripping chapters, Total Chaos thrusts players into an inescapable nightmare, armed only with scraps of information, improvised weapons, and sheer willpower to survive. Explore the haunting ruins of this abandoned island, from decrepit buildings to eerie graveyards and ghostly prisons. Every location teems with supernatural threats and scattered clues to piece together the enigma of Fort Oasis’s lost inhabitants.
Survive the Unthinkable
Face relentless, horrifying creatures that seem to anticipate your every move, evolving their attacks to corner you. Fight back with whatever you can find—whether it’s a pipe wrench, a makeshift axe, or other scavenged tools. As you descend further into the labyrinthine ruins, the line between reality and madness begins to blur. Is it just the island that’s cursed, or is your mind betraying you?
To make matters worse—or better for thrill-seekers—a brand-new tenth chapter will debut as optional DLC, extending the narrative and introducing even more harrowing locales to explore alongside the PC release.
A Masterclass in Psychological Horror
This game is designed to make you feel truly helpless and alone,
explains Sam Prebble, lead developer at Trigger Happy Interactive. “Survival horror is about more than just jump scares—it’s about atmosphere and psychological tension. Total Chaos pushes these elements to their limits.”
With its roots in classic survival horror, Total Chaos reimagines the genre with modern design elements. Moody soundscapes, dynamic lighting, and an unnerving score amplify the dread, immersing players in an environment that feels ready to crumble underfoot. The game toys with your sense of reality, forcing you to question whether Fort Oasis is truly unfamiliar—or if you’ve been here before.
“Total Chaos is an expanded, significantly upgraded reimagining of my award-winning GZDoom mod from 2018,” Prebble adds. “This Unity remaster surpasses my original vision and takes the experience to new heights.”
A New Kind of Intensity
“Total Chaos delivers a disturbing kind of intensity that’s very different from Turbo Overkill but just as heart-pounding,” says Scott Miller, founder of Apogee Entertainment. “It’s designed to get under your skin and stay with you long after you put the controller down.”
