It seems Capcom still can’t get around to giving fans a sorely-needed revival to Dino Crisis. Luckily, when you have Iteria Games and their upcoming Survival Horror title Compound Fracture, it’s not so bad. The shooter made an appearance over the weekend at the Realms Deep 2022 showcase with a brand-new trailer that once again nails the throwback PS1-era graphics and the “Panic Horror” mood.
There’s still no update as to when we’ll see Compound Fracture arrive on Steam, but at least the Steam page has fleshed out a better description of the story:
It’s 1996, and the sky over New Manitoba City is choked with pollution. An anonymous whistleblower contacted OSEA, claiming that ChronoGas had violated the federal laws banning the use of time travel. A health and safety enforcer was dispatched to investigate the claims, but found that the situation was more urgent than anyone could have predicted. He is forced to act decisively. Take on the role of the enforcer as he cuts a path through a hostile world. Set right something that should never have happened.
The description also calls back to a feature with Dino Crisis where Regina would bleed, leaving a blood trail behind. Compound Fracture aims to replicate that, in addition to alluding to other potential injuries that will affect your mobility (such as a broken leg). There’s also mention of an ENFORCER MODE, where you can replay the story in a “warped timeline” that will “subvert your expectations and challenge your resolve.”
