Game description

In Extremis is an early first-person shooter with a heavy emphasis on survival horror. The game engine is quite similar to that of Wolfenstein 3D, but the design draws on building up tension, visual effects and Giger-esque art to create an unsettling feel that is almost certainly unique among the first-person action games that came out back then.

The player character is a lone astronaut trapped on a space station that is crawling with hostile aliens. In addition to fighting baddies, you need to watch your oxygen supply and hunt for resources, so that the overall gameplay almost approaches the "immersive sim" kind of game (like System Shock). The cramped, claustrophobic environments and occasional jumpscares like the lights going out suddenly help build up tension and keep you on the edge more than any other game of the DOOM era would.

The playable demo contains one level of the station. There is also a non-playable demonstration of the same, which may be launched via a separate EXE.
