Fans of PS1-era horror are in for more entries in this crunchy style of horror game design. God Help Us All is an upcoming fixed-camera survival horror game from indie developer RetroGig that fuses the gritty atmosphere of a Spaghetti Western with the haunting tension of Resident Evil.
Set in the frontier town of Los Cuervos, God Help Us All transports players to a world where a mysterious sickness is turning townsfolk into twisted, unrecognizable creatures. The result is an intriguing blend of classic horror nostalgia and dusty Western grit, resulting in a genre mashup that feels both familiar and fresh.
The game is looking to embrace design elements that made late-90s horror unforgettable, but God Help Us All also introduces modern gameplay mechanics like weapon upgrading and crafting, allowing players to balance their survival strategy with old-school challenge.
Game Features:
-
Classic Survival Gameplay: Navigate the terrifying town of Los Cuervos and its surroundings with limited resources and a fixed-camera perspective that keeps you on edge. Every corner could hide a new threat.
-
Old-School Pre-Rendered Backgrounds: Immerse yourself in the gritty, unsettling atmosphere of a forgotten era. The stunning pre-rendered backgrounds bring the haunting world to life, making every location feel both beautiful and dangerous.
-
Weapon Upgrades & Crafting: Use parts and improve your weapons to stand a fighting chance against the horrors that await. Will you be able to fend off the spreading evil, or will you become a victim of the sickness?
-
Wild West Grittiness: The unforgiving landscape of the Wild West adds a unique layer of tension to this survival horror game. Get ready to face the darkest secrets of Los Cuervos.
With a blend of classic presentation and modern tension, God Help Us All is ambitious, a possibly fresh take on survival horror for fans who grew up on fixed cameras, inventory screens, and heart-pounding save rooms. Hopefully it turns out to be a return to form where horror wears a cowboy hat.
With the game slated for release in Q4 of 2026 on PC and consoles, you can wishlist the game on Steam and watch the new trailer below:
