Dino Horror Game Athanasia Gets Spooky October Release Date

What if you woke up trapped in a research facility overrun by dinosaurs that have somehow time-traveled to the present? Sounds like a nightmare, right? Well, that's exactly the premise of the indie horror game Athanasia, and we've got the exclusive scoop on its release date.

Athanasia is coming to PC via Steam Early Access on October 19, which is perfect timing for some spooky Halloween gaming. The game is set in a South American research facility where dinosaurs are on the loose, and you're stuck in the middle of it all.

While the art style might remind you of Capcom's classic Dino Crisis series, the gameplay is actually more surprising. Athanasia takes inspiration from System Shock, meaning it has immersive sim elements. That means you can get creative in how you escape danger by experimenting with your environment. Who knows, maybe you can even flush toilets if you're really in a bind - we'll have to wait and see.

But that's not all. The developers are keeping a secret enemy type hidden from all the trailers so far. Something worse than dinosaurs is lurking in the shadows, and you'll have to face it when the game drops.

Athanasia is developed by Momentum Games and published by Black Lantern Collective, a horror-focused label. With its unique blend of dino horror and immersive sim gameplay, this could be a standout title for Halloween.
