Athanasia

About Athanasia

Athanasia is a tense action survival horror game set in a creepy South American facility. You play Carmen Flores, a researcher investigating disappearances and weird occurrences. The game mixes first-person shooting with stealth and resource management. Momentum Games LLC crafted it for PC, releasing it June 30, 2026. You’ll fight time-traveling predators from eras both ancient and far-future, using limited tools and cunning to survive. The vibe leans heavy on isolation and paranoia, with a focus on atmospheric exploration. If you like methodical horror and figuring out mysteries under pressure, this one’s got your name on it.

Gameplay

You spend most of your time sneaking through dimly lit halls, scavenging ammo, and avoiding predators that adapt to your tactics. Combat feels punishing, enemies hit hard, and respawns mean losing progress. You toggle between guns, traps, and stealth, using environmental hazards like electrified water to thin their numbers. A typical session involves mapping out areas, managing a small inventory, and timing your dashes between cover. The time-travel angle adds variety: one fight might be against a saber-toothed cat, the next a biomechanical alien. Movement is fluid but deliberate, with sprint and crouch mechanics to balance speed and stealth. It’s not a run-and-gun shooter, it punishes recklessness.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate it 87% with a 4.1/5 average. Community moods lean tense (72%) and creepy (68%), but 78% finish the game, averaging 12 hours. Metacritic scores it 83, praising its "claustrophobic tension" and "clever enemy design." Steam reviews highlight the "unforgiving difficulty" but note it’s "rewarding for patient players." Some gripe about repetitive enemy AI in later acts, but 65% of players collect all 34 achievements, which track stealth kills, trap setups, and story milestones. The community splits between fans of its old-school horror roots and those frustrated by its slow pacing.

PlayPile's Take

Athanasia is for fans of survival horror who don’t mind dying a lot. At $29.99, it’s a mid-budget pick with 34 achievements to chase. The game shines in its first half but risks wearing out its welcome with repetitive encounters. It’s better with friends (if you can share the stress) but still holds up as a solo challenge. Skip if you want fast action or open worlds. If you relish planning every move and surviving against the odds, this is your kind of nightmare.
