AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
WDR Studios LLC has announced Terrible Lizards, a first-person horror platformer combining nineties dinosaur park aesthetics with fast-paced movement mechanics and mascot horror elements, set for a summer release on PC.
Developer WDR Studios LLC has announced Terrible Lizards, a first person horror platformer that blends the nostalgic terror of early nineties creature features with modern movement mechanics. Set in 1992, the game strands players in the New Mexico desert after a car breakdown forces them to seek shelter inside Dalton's Dinos, an abandoned roadside dinosaur museum. What starts as a tense exploration of animatronic exhibits quickly devolves into a frantic survival test when the mechanical prehistoric beasts begin pursuing the player. According to reporting by Rock Paper Shotgun, the gameplay relies heavily on fluid parkour, requiring players to climb, jump, and mantle across museum architecture to stay out of biting distance.
As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, the narrative deepens when a mysterious phone call sends players into the cave systems beneath the facility to locate a lost child. Traditional survival horror tropes like scattered VHS tapes and audio logs help piece together the dark history of the museum. However, the true nature of the threat twists the formula further, as the animatronic dinosaurs reveal hidden horrors, including decaying human faces trapped inside their frames. This blend of classic mascot horror and fast paced mobility creates a unique hybrid experience that feels right at home for modern horror fans who grew up watching creature features and streaming indie scares.
Terrible Lizards is scheduled to launch this summer on PC via Steam. For players who love the cat and mouse tension of titles like Five Nights At Freddy's combined with high mobility traversal, this indie release looks like a fresh way to experience survival horror.
