Publisher Apogee Entertainment and developer Trigger Happy Interactive have shadow-dropped Total Chaos, their new psychological survival horror game.
Total Chaos is now available for Windows PC (via Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
“Total Chaos began for me almost two decades ago when the original mod became my first real step into creating a world of my own. I never imagined I’d return to Fort Oasis and rebuild it as a full standalone release on PC and consoles,” said Total Chaos developer and head of Trigger Happy Interactive, Sam Prebble. “I’m grateful to everyone who helped bring it to this moment, especially the teams at Apogee, Atari, and Infogrames. See you on the island. Listen carefully to the voice you follow.”
Apogee executive producer Jeron Moore added, “Total Chaos is Apogee’s first step into survival horror and a full-circle moment for Sam, whose early love for classics like DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and the horror genre at large helped inspire this original vision. What began as a total conversion mod has grown into a faithful and expanded remake. Our creative bond from Turbo Overkill made it a privilege to support him again and ensure Total Chaos delivers a truly landmark horror experience.”
Guest composer Akira Yamaoka also added, “I am truly honored to have taken part in this collaboration with Total Chaos. Within the chaos lies a hidden silence — an invisible world that cannot be captured by words, but only expressed through sound. It is an experience like a journey where unseen landscapes are felt through the ears rather than seen by the eyes. I hope you enjoy it.”
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:
Descend into Total Chaos, a gripping survival horror experience that darkens the fragile space between truth and madness.
The once thriving Fort Oasis feels like a long ago memory; deserted, decayed and too dark for comfort. You’ve wrecked upon its island shore by a sudden storm–its distant past still seems eerily present, but venture inward you must, compelled by cryptic radio transmissions from someone who seems like a friend.
But as you delve deeper into Fort Oasis reality itself becomes twisted and uncertain as you realize your very existence is at stake.
Scavenge for scraps and craft makeshift weapons to defend yourself against the many horrors. Unearth fragments of forgotten lives scattered across the island and piece together the chilling mystery of Fort Oasis’s fate. Each discovery brings you closer to a truth that threatens to shatter your sanity.
Key Features:
