Chasmal Fear Plunges Into Early Access on Steam

If the deep sea wasn’t terrifying enough, Chasmal Fear is here to make sure you’ll never look at water the same way again. Developed by MystiveDev and published by Snail Inc.’s indie label Wandering Wizard, this bodycam-style FPS horror experience just launched today on Steam—and it’s ready to drag you into the abyss.

Set in the haunting depths of the abandoned Magnus Facility, Chasmal Fear blends tactical shooter gameplay with creeping sci-fi horror. Whether you’re playing solo or teaming up in co-op, you’ll need nerves of steel and a keen eye to survive the unnatural horrors lurking beneath the ocean’s surface.

To celebrate the launch, early adopters can grab the game at 10% off its full price of $19.99 for the first 7 days.

Built in Unreal Engine 5, Chasmal Fear fully leans into its immersive bodycam-style perspective to crank up the tension. It’s dark, claustrophobic, and relentlessly unnerving. One moment you’re creeping through flooded corridors lit only by flickering emergency lights, the next you’re frantically choosing between stealth or a last-ditch firefight against something that shouldn’t exist.

Resources are scarce. Enemies are unpredictable. And the facility itself might be working against you. Every decision counts—do you search that dark corner for supplies, or sprint to the next airlock and hope for the best? Your survival depends on the risks you’re willing to take.

This isn’t just another horror shooter—it’s a test of your instincts, your strategy, and your courage.

Chasmal Fear is available now on Steam, complete with a launch discount for the first week. For players curious about the game’s backstory and development, the “Beyond The Surface” Developer Diary series dives deep into the design, tech, and inspiration behind the dread-filled experience.

So, are you ready to find out what really happened at Magnus Facility? Or will you end up just another echo in the deep?
