Terrible Lizards

Terrible Lizards takes the chase sequence, the scariest part of most horror games, and builds the whole thing around it. Movement is momentum-driven and first-person: you sprint, jump, climb ledges, run along walls, bounce off surfaces and slide under gaps, and the faster you string those moves together, the more space you put between yourself and whatever is behind you.

The creatures that stalk the depot do not behave alike. Some shamble, some charge, and all of them keep coming, so you are constantly reading the terrain ahead for the next ledge or gap rather than looking back. With combat off the table, every encounter is a route-finding problem under pressure, and breathers between chases are short.

The pitch is easy to pick up and hard to master. A first run is about surviving; later runs are about clean lines and confident jumps. Exploration matters too. The crumbling attraction hides tapes, written notes and recordings that fill in what happened at Dalton's Dinos and what lies beneath it, rewarding players who take risks to poke into side rooms. It is a single-player experience with full controller support and 15 Steam achievements.

It is 1992, long before smartphones and ride-hailing apps. Your car dies on a lonely stretch of Route 66, and the nearest sign of life is Dalton's Dinos, a once-famous roadside dinosaur attraction now cooking quietly under the New Mexico sun. The gates are unguarded and every member of staff has vanished.

Then you find a telephone, and the voice on the other end is desperate, asking you to find a child who has gone missing somewhere inside the park. With no car and no way to call for help, you go looking, and quickly learn you are not alone. The deeper you push, the clearer it becomes that the attraction's kitschy dinosaurs were hiding something far worse below ground, and that the only way out is through.
