Jurassic Park fans and lovers of horror platformers have something to get excited about with the announcement of Terrible Lizards, a new title from WDR Studios LLC. The initial trailer promises a blend of thrills and chills, evocatively dubbed “Jurassic parkour” by those who have stumbled upon its concept. Talk about a catchy phrase. One can only imagine the internal debate over whether to make that the game’s title.
Set in 1992, the story kicks off with your car stranded in the unforgiving deserts of New Mexico. But forget dialing up a buddy for roadside assistance; the technology of the time leaves you with no options but a trek into Dalton’s Dinos, an eerie, abandoned roadside museum. Here, you’ll encounter a bizarre assortment of animatronic dinosaurs, a nostalgic nod to the kind of attractions that dotted the American landscape. The initial charm of those animatronic brontosaurs is soon overshadowed by the reality of being in a horror setting — after all, what starts with “oooh” and “ahhh” often turns into chaos, and soon enough, you’ll be dodging and sprinting for your life.
Terrible Lizards may expertly weave together elements reminiscent of classic horror games like Five Nights at Freddy’s, adding a fresh twist with its parkour mechanics. As you navigate through this retro nightmare, the game promises not just jumps and runs but also a series of challenges that require quick thinking and agile reflexes. It’s a setup that mixes nostalgia with adrenaline, perfect for gamers eager to relive the thrill of survival against the backdrop of a lost era. As more details emerge, it’s clear that Terrible Lizards is ready to carve out its own niche in the crowded landscape of horror gaming.
