‘Total Chaos’ Comes to Steam on July 24; New Demo Available Now [Trailer]
Trigger Happy Interactive and publisher Apogee Entertainment have announced that their Doom II mod turned full Survival Horror shooter title Total Chaos will launch July 24 on PC via Steam. In addition, there will be a special VR edition included with the base game. Currently, you can check out the new demo during Steam Next Fest until March 3.
Total Chaos sees players assume the role of a Coast Guardsman who has 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.

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft‘s cosmic horror short novel, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu invites players to form a squad of 2 to 4 members to embark on an uncharted continent in search of a legendary city containing invaluable treasures.
You and your companions are on the deck of your galleon. El Capitán has given you a contract to fulfill: gather as much wealth as possible, find a missing person, locate an ancient fort, and, if possible, return safe and sound from this perilous expedition. As soon as you set foot on the shore, at the edge of the jungle, a vague sense of dread takes hold. In this jungle, treasures and mysteries await you, but so do unspeakable entities ready to make you regret ever setting foot in their territory.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu will launch July 15 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
