Descend into the depths of uncertainty as a Coast Guardsman washed ashore upon the jagged coast of Fort Oasis — an abandoned mining outpost shrouded in mystery. A lone voice calls out over the radio: “Get to the mines.” Can the voice be trusted? What lies beneath the island? And wait…doesn’t Fort Oasis seem…familiar?

Total Chaos abandons the player within a world of dread across nine inescapable chapters. Stranded on the desolate island of Fort Oasis, players rely on scattered but unreliable clues, along with scavenged and improvised weapons to survive.

The decayed remains of a once-thriving mining outpost is no longer anyone’s tourist attraction… now abandoned and consumed by an eerie mystery surrounding the disappearance of its inhabitants. Brave forlorn graveyards, dilapidated buildings, and empty prisons harboring supernatural phenomena, scattered clues, handwritten notes, and the supplies necessary to survive this nightmare.

Total Chaos offers a deep descent into isolation, fear, and survival as players venture deeper into the labyrinthine ruins of Fort Oasis, a one-way ticket into the shadows of the mind. It’s now overrun by horrifying, relentless creatures that adapt their attack patterns, as if they’re able to read minds. Fend off these monstrosities with whatever improvised tools can be scavenged—a pipe wrench, a makeshift axe, anything to keep them at bay.

Explore an extended narrative, unnerving anomalies, and never-before-seen locales in the all-new tenth chapter via optional DLC alongside the PC release. 

Inspired by classic survival horror but with modern game design sensibilities, Total Chaos immerses players in environments that feel as if they could collapse at any moment, further augmented by dynamic lighting, moody soundscapes, and a fear inducing musical score. The game pushes players to question not just the island’s reality, but their own memories. Have they been here before?

Developer Trigger Happy Interactive and publisher Apogee Entertainment anonunced that Total Chaos descends into madness on July 24, 2025 on PC via Steam. For those daring enough, a special VR edition will be included with the base game for an even closer brush with terror.

After release, Total Chaos will take the terror further with an all-new Epilogue DLC (available for purchase) – featuring an extended narrative, unexplored locations, and a never-before-seen tenth chapter. For the bravest survivors, step directly into the nightmare — Total Chaos: VR Edition will let explorers experience Fort Oasis and Total Chaos’ strikingly detailed and immersively haunting environments through the Coast Guardsman’s own eyes.

“Total Chaos combines survival horror with psychological intrigue and a deep narrative designed to unsettle and instill doubt,” said Sam Prebble, developer at Trigger Happy Interactive. “The extra content available on PC will allow fans to face even more terrors across Fort Oasis.”
