Dino Trauma

Every level follows a conventional Doom-style keycard progression, and in my opinion all of the level designs were really atmospheric and memorable; The secrets are really hard to find though, I didn't find a single one in my first playthrough.

Anyone who played Dino Crisis as a kid will appreciate this game's setting and visuals.

Combat encounters are brisk and unforgiving, often throwing multiple enemy types at once and forcing quick decision-making.

I played through what content was available on hard difficulty in mid 2025, of which there existed only the complete first set of levels as I understand it, and I enjoyed the replay-ability exhibited by the old-school FPS design of the levels.

Sound design complements this approach, with sharp weapon effects, echoing corridors, and the constant presence of distant roars and footsteps creating a persistent sense of unease.

On the plus side, even though this game is still in development, we have Steam Deck verification, functioning cloud saves, and game pad support.
