GameSpot can exclusively reveal Athanasia&#8217;s release date; it comes to PC on October 19 via Steam Early Access.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Athanasia, players find themselves trapped in a South American research facility swarmed by dinosaurs that have somehow traveled through time to the present day in the game&#8217;s story. Though the art style recalls something quite like Dino Crisis, Capcom&#8217;s long-dormant dino horror series, the specifics of the gameplay are actually more surprising.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Influenced by System Shock, the first-person Athanasia also has immersive-sim leanings, as seen in the game&#8217;s trailer below, where the player can creatively get themselves out of a jam by experimenting with their environment. Of course, if it&#8217;s really an immersive sim, players will be able to flush the toilets. It&#8217;s wait-and-see on that one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s not the only wrinkle, though. Athanasia also teases a different enemy type hidden from all of the game&#8217;s trailers so far. It seems something worse than dinosaurs is lurking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Athanasia launches on October 19 from Momentum Games, with the horror-focused Black Lantern Collective publishing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Athanasia, the indie horror game that traps you in a mysterious facility full of dinosaurs, is launching in the ideal horror-game window: just before Halloween.
