Today at IGN Live, publisher Apogee Entertainment and developer Trigger Happy Interactive debuted the newest trailer for the highly anticipated psychological survival horror title, Total Chaos, which was recently named a standout game in the OTK Games Expo.
From the developer behind the critically acclaimed Turbo Overkill, the new Total Chaos trailer dives into the creepy abyss of Fort Oasis, a desolate wasteland once considered paradise by its residential coal miner community. A shadow looms over the island, inhibiting a sense of madness, which can only be described as the feeling of constantly being watched. Monstrosities lurk around every corner of the island’s heart, trapping anybody daring enough to enter the void. While shooting and bludgeoning through these twisted foes, players will unearth fragments of forgotten lives to piece together the chilling mystery of Fort Oasis’ demise (and their connection to it) before their sanity runs dry.
