Jumping the gate and dodging electrical hazards proves that all of his time on the UCLA track team and studying parkour didn’t go to waste, but getting in was the easy part. Now, Jordan is desperately searching for a way to call for help, and wondering why a missing mascot costume is filling him with dread.
If walking dinosaurs weren’t weird enough, things only get stranger as Jordan explores the digsite beneath Dalton’s Dinos in the full game, launching Thursday, Oct. 29. What happened to Dalton, his wife Elena, and their son, Dalton Jr.? The first clues to these answers lie in the demo for the debut title from the minds behind JT Music, who have made music paying tribute to their favourite games, and are now crafting their own original horror experience.
“Christian and I at JT Music have been making music about games for years, and are massive horror fans, so developing our own title seemed like a natural fit,” said John Gelardi, co-founder of WDR Studios and JT Music, and the Producer and Designer on Terrible Lizards.
“We’ve drawn from our collective nostalgia for the 1990s and classic horror titles to create something original. We’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with amazing developers like Amanda Farough to help us fully realise our vision of a one-of-a-kind horror experience.”
Terrible Lizards is currently slated to launch on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X|S on Thursday, 29 Oct, 2026, with news on other platforms to be announced at a later date.
