About Athanasia
Athanasia is an immersive survival horror first-person shooter developed by Momentum Games and published by Black Lantern Collective, which launched in Early Access on 19 October 2026. Inspired by classics such as System Shock and Dino Crisis, it asks you to outthink and outmanoeuvre the brute strength of ancient adversaries. You play Carmen Flores, a researcher and explorer called to investigate a mysterious facility in South America, where reports of disappearances and strange phenomena have piled up. Within its winding maze of science and secrets lies a terrible truth older than humanity itself.
Exploration drives the experience. You navigate hidden pathways, discover forgotten secrets and gather knowledge about your foes and surroundings, which lets you approach each tense encounter in your own way. Caches of vital equipment are scattered across the complex, along with audio logs left behind by the people who lived, worked and died there. Piecing these recordings together gradually reveals what really happened during the lockdown and points you towards places you were never supposed to see.
Survival is just as demanding. Resources are scarce, so you need to pick your fights carefully and never underestimate the enemy. Creatures that once ruled the world stalk the corridors, joined by things no human eye has seen before. To overcome them, you use an arsenal of tools and deadly weapons, and you can find and combine items to create improvised weapons, distractions and traps. Stealth is often as valuable as firepower, because a well-placed lure can lead a predator away from the room you need to search.
The facility itself is highly interactive. Between the dinosaurs and a facility-wide lockdown, getting around this labyrinth is no simple matter: you hack into computers, jimmy open doors and refuel machines to open new paths. Every area rewards curiosity with shortcuts, supplies or fresh pieces of the story. As an Early Access release, the game is still being expanded by the developers, so new content and improvements are planned while the core campaign is already playable on its own.
