Total Chaos - A Pure Survival Horror Experience

I know there are lots of survival horror fans on here, so figured I'd make a thread. I picked up Total Chaos a few days ago and it is an intense, unrelenting experience. It started out as a Doom 2 mod and ended up getting made into a full Unity game by the developer of Turbo Overkill, one of the best shooters in the last few years.

Lots of different enemy types, well designed encounters, fun setpieces, and an astonishing amount of immersive sim elements. There is a pretty big emphasis on survival elements, which scared me at first bc I hate survival games. Here, you only have 3 meters to manage - health, bleed, and hunger. Need health and want to use a syringe? You'll get your health, but you'll inflict some bleeding as well. Want to take pills to stop the bleeding? Sounds good, it'll increase your hunger though. You're constantly finding ways to manage yourself and it really encourages experimentation. Find a gas cooker and you can cook food to increase its positive properties or mitigate/eliminate its debuffs. If you don't want to deal with hunger or bleed, you can disable them via Tourist Mode.

Weaponry is mostly melee (powerful dodge and parry that must be mastered) with some guns scattered about, the latter of which are extremely powerful and very ammo-restricted. You're constantly scrounging trying to find materials to craft new weapons. It's pretty awesome to win a big fight with your wrench at 2% durability and be super nervous that you won't find something before the next encounter, only to stumble upon the last component you need to build a sledgehammer.

Going back to the immersive sim elements, I'm constantly stumbling upon new ways to fight enemies. Example: If you dodge into an enemy, you'll push them back. See a burning barrel? Throw a bottle of vodka on an enemy, dodge into them, and they'll catch on fire. Have a rag and alcohol in your inventory? Wrap your spiked club in it and light it on fire for extra burn damage. The game doesn't tell you these things - you can just try shite and have it work. You'll also find blueprints that spells out how to make things

Game is a linear, 9-chapter experience - no open world. It's very meticulously designed and worth your time for $24.99. It's a really intense experience that has you on edge the entire time you play - both from the atmosphere and scarce resources
