If there's one thing the original survival horror take in the style of System Shock, F.E.A.R., Prey, and Aliens – and there's a new demo to try out now.
While id Software tried its hand at a Doom survival horror game with something they regularly deliver on.
Siren is a new mod made by creator Dithered Output and has been in development for at least two years – and the latest 0.6 build is playable right now in a new demo. The modder says that they aimed to create "an experience closer to an Aliens game but with the variety and gameplay benefits the roster of Doom monsters brings".
While the demo's out now, you can also check out the latest trailer below. The Aliens influence is obvious but there's also more of an immersive sim feel to playing it, similar to System Shock – although the terrifying titular smoke monster is like something out of Prey. To play it, you'll need a copy of the campaign demo, GZDoom, and either Doom II or Final Doom. Be warned though: it's pretty tough, even on Normal.
