One is Casualties: Unknown, a 2D misericore spelunking experience with an injury system so byzantine it took Oisin <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/casualties-unknown-is-noita-for-furries-and-oh-so-deliciously-miserable">multiple paragraphs to work out how to die</a>. The other, somewhat nicer game is Fright Train, a swish B-movie survival shooter in which you are a literal dog soldier, the magnificent Doug Barker. </p> <p><a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/fright-train-is-the-best-call-of-duty-zombies-alternative-ive-played-in-ages-despite-starring-a-dog">Read more</a></p>https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/life-has-once-again-found-a-way-in-athanasia-an-immersive-dinosaur-fps-that-feels-like-comfort-food-for-dino-crisis-and-system-shock-players-alikeEdwin Evans-ThirlwellMon, 19 Oct 2026 11:17:27 +0000https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/life-has-once-again-found-a-way-in-athanasia-an-immersive-dinosaur-fps-that-feels-like-comfort-food-for-dino-crisis-and-system-shock-players-alikeAthanasiaBlack Lantern CollectiveFirst personHorrorIndiePCShooterSingle Player<img src="https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/athanasia.png?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp" /> <p>Good news, people who figure they are going to die of old age before they get another <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/dino-crisis">Dino Crisis</a>! Good news also, people who can't get enough throwback immersive sims! Even as Capcom forge ahead with their <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/capcom-arent-just-running-out-of-resident-evil-games-to-remake-theyre-banking-on-it-with-a-mysterious-crossover-planned-when-the-timelines-collide">Resident Evil remake ouroboros</a>, plucky Momentum Games and horror publishers Black Lantern Collective are releasing <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/athanasia">Athanasia</a> - a first-person homage to both Dino Crisis and <a href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/system-shock">System Shock</a>, in which you play intrepid researcher Carmen Flores, who has been sent to an ominous abandoned scientific facility in South America.</p> <p>One of these days, I'm going to turf up to a collapsing laboratory complex in a game and discover nothing but stationery, old rubber gloves, and unfiled expense claims. I imagine a lot of laboratories are abandoned not due to (for example) gene-modded dilophosaurus outbreaks, but because the funders got cold feet long before Project X reached the prototyping stage. But that day is not this day. Today, there are dinosaurs! Argh, my face and/or intestines!
