Steam Next Fest Demo for ‘Total Chaos’ Available February 24
After announcing last year that their Doom II mod would be turned into a full game, Trigger Happy Interactive has announced that Total Chaos will be unleashing a demo for Steam Next Fest on February 24.
A “brutal Survival Horror experience,” Total Chaos sees players assume the role of a Coast Guardsman washed up on the shores of Fort Oasis, a long-abandoned mining colony consumed by decay and an eerie, inescapable presence. A lone voice crackles through a walkie-talkie, beckoning him deeper into the island’s rotting ruins. But as hallucinations grow stronger and reality bends, the question lingers… is something watching, or is the horror all in his mind?
In typical Survival Horror fashion, players will monitor their vitals, fight off hunger, and tend to bleeding wounds. But survival in Total Chaos isn’t just physical — their mind may betray them before the island does.
In addition, you’ll need to scavenge to survive. That means searching the ruins for scrap and supplies to craft makeshift weapons. Axes, hammers, and whatever else can be scavenged are the only defensive options. Firearms are rare, and every bullet is precious.
Be aware, as when your madness takes hold, the world itself begins to change. Hidden passageways emerge, walls shift, and the line between hallucination and reality begins to blur.
No release date has been announced as of yet for Total Chaos, but the game is expected later this year.
Path Games provided an update for its in-development underwater haunted house title Dark Mass, revealing that the game will receive a physical release for PlayStation 5 as both a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition. The reveal also coincides with a new trailer that delves into the gameplay.
Dark Mass sees players take on the role of Alice, a deep-sea explorer who, alongside her brother Reed, stumbles upon the wreckage of an ancient ship. But beneath the ship lies they discover a manor lost to time, eerily untouched despite spending centuries in the ocean.
Alice decides to venture inside, but she soon realises that something is watching from the darkness, bound to the manor by a dark curse. Trapped within the manor’s decaying halls, Alice must now uncover the manor’s tragic past, solve puzzles based on real historical torture rituals, and make decisions that will ultimately define her fate.
Both the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition will be published by SelectaPlay, with the Collector’s Edition having been designed “for horror fans and collectors,” bringing together a selection of physical items inspired by Alice’s journey, the mystery of the sunken manor and the unsettling atmosphere of the abyss.
The Standard Edition includes a physical copy of the game, along with an illustrated manual. Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition includes the physical copy and manual, along with the following:
- Collector’s Box
- Official Art Book
- Lenticular postcard
- Alice’s turtle bracelet
- Original Soundtrack in Digipack format
- Exclusive Steelbook
In addition to the PlayStation 5, Dark Mass will be coming to the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The game is currently aiming for a fall 2026 release.
