Total Chaos is one of the most surprising indie horror experiences I’ve played in years. Built by a single developer, it delivers an oppressive descent into Fort Oasis—a place that gets under your skin within minutes. The atmosphere is dense, the combat is nerve-wracking, and the whole thing feels like a wild evolution of classic Doom mod sensibilities transformed into a modern survival horror gem.
Despite its small scale, the game shows remarkable polish: the exploration is rewarding, paranoia-inducing, and filled with smart environmental storytelling. The psychological themes are bold but handled with a surprisingly sincere touch. The early hours can feel brutal—limited ammo, hostile corridors, and spider encounters that spike the tension—but New Game+ and hidden secrets help smooth the difficulty curve.
Compared to modern Resident Evil remakes, Total Chaos is more intimate and psychological, making it perfect for marathon horror sessions. At around €24.99 (often -15% on Steam) or via Game Pass, it’s an easy recommendation for players on PS5, Xbox, and PC.
