Developed by WDR Studios LLC (the creative game development studio founded by John Gelardi and Christian Ames of JT Music) and co-published by Digital Pajamas and Behaviour Interactive Inc., Terrible Lizards is a high-octane 3D first-person horror parkour platformer. Set in 1992 against the sun-baked, decaying backdrop of 'Dalton's Dinos'—a retro roadside dinosaur attraction along historic Route 66 in New Mexico—players find themselves stranded after their car abruptly breaks down miles from civilization. With no cell phones, no internet, and no help coming, you step inside the abandoned tourist trap searching for a telephone. Instead, you answer a desperate voice begging you to locate a missing child lost in the complex. Beneath the colorful fiberglass mascots lies a dark subterranean labyrinth where genetic dinosaur experiments and corrupted animatronics stalk the shadows. In Terrible Lizards, combat is completely off the table: movement is your only weapon. Players must run, jump, climb, wall-run, slide, and bounce across collapsing environments, navigating lethal vertical obstacle courses while pursued by terrifying, relentless prehistoric predators.
