Forget your usual high-octane, lead-spraying zombie romps. Undead Chronicles, the upcoming slow-burn FPS from Seyfhouse Games, is taking a sharp turn into the atmospheric and the downright unforgiving.
Set in the flickering gaslight of 1923 Istanbul, you aren’t playing a super-soldier or a grizzled survivor. You’re a banker. You’ve arrived at the Imperial Ottoman Bank for a promotion, only to find that the “corporate ladder” is now infested with a relentless, leprotic undead plague.
Why You Should Keep Your Eyes Peeled (and Your Ears Open)
This isn’t just another shooter, it’s a methodical love letter to the era of classic Resident Evil and the dread-soaked corridors of P.T.

Here’s the real game changer Forget health bars. In Undead Chronicles, realism is king. One bite from a slow, shambling corpse doesn’t just hurt—it ends your run. It’s a hardcore approach that turns every corner into a high-stakes gamble.
Silence is Survival: The world reacts to you. If you sprint through the bank’s vaults or make a racket while searching drawers for supplies, the undead will hear you. The lack of a HUD or hit markers means you have to trust your senses, not your screen.
Scarcity is Scarier Than Zombies: Ammo isn’t just rare; it’s a luxury. You’ll spend more time meticulously checking every drawer and desk for a single bullet than you will actually firing your weapon.

From the flooded cisterns to the foggy streets of an occupied Istanbul, the 1920s setting adds a layer of eerie, historical weight that we rarely see in the survival horror genre.

Now, what should you expect in this horror title? Simply “No arcade action. No safety. Just a banker, a dark vault, and a lot of things that want to bite him.”
Currently slated for PC (Steam) unfortunately, Undead Chronicles is shaping up to be the thinking person’s horror game. There’s no clear news or pathway for a console release which is silly, but if this game gets enough attention then surely the developers will give us the nod. We here at the Pixel Parlor are dedicated console gamers, so the only way to be sure we get these incredible upcoming games is to shine a huge spotlight on the audience that would completely invest into such a game.

Undead Chronicles respects your intelligence and punishes your impatience. If you’re the type of player who enjoys counting every bullet and holding your breath when a floorboard creaks, this is one to wishlist immediately.
Just maybe rethink that promotion. The benefits package is… lacking.
