Necrophosis: Full Consciousness is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam), and its launch trailer shows off grotesque new landscapes plus footage from the Subconsciousness DLC.

Lovecraft - to consoles for the first time, casting you as a memoryless Consciousness exploring cursed dimensions with no weapons at all.

Necrophosis: Full Consciousness Launches Today on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC as Its Launch Trailer Unveils Fresh Nightmares - Dragonis Games' Beksinski-and-Lovecraft-Inspired First-Person Horror Makes Its Console Debut as a Complete Edition, Bundling the Newly Released Subconsciousness DLC and a Weaponless Journey Through Cursed, Otherworldly Dimensions

Dragonis Games' nightmare has spread to consoles. Necrophosis: Full Consciousness is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam, and the studio marked the launch with a trailer that unveils grotesque new landscapes alongside previously unseen footage from the Subconsciousness DLC. This complete edition brings the surreal first-person horror title to console for the first time, with the newly released expansion bundled in.

The game's identity is its art. Necrophosis fuses the bone-and-cathedral surrealism of painter Zdzislaw Beksinski with the cosmic dread of H.P. Lovecraft, building a world that feels less designed than excavated from a fever dream. You play as Consciousness - an entity trapped within a vessel and stripped of memory - exploring cursed landscapes to piece together fragments of a truth that the world itself seems determined to keep buried.

No weapons - only exploration, puzzles and dread

Crucially, Necrophosis hands you nothing to fight back with. There are no guns, no axes, no combat systems at all. Instead the game is built entirely around exploration, puzzle-solving and the act of confronting things you cannot fully comprehend. You move through spaces your mind could never have imagined, facing creatures that resist understanding, with survival resting on observation and nerve rather than firepower - a deliberate design choice that keeps the player perpetually vulnerable.

A complete edition with the Subconsciousness DLC built in

Full Consciousness is the definitive package. On top of the base game - which arrived on PC last year - the edition folds in the Subconsciousness DLC, extending the journey into further dimensions with new grotesque environments showcased throughout the launch trailer. For console players, it is the first opportunity to experience Necrophosis at all, and they are getting the most complete version available out of the gate rather than waiting for the expansion to follow.

It is a deliberately niche proposition - a slow, weaponless, atmosphere-first horror game that trades jump-scare spectacle for sustained, creeping unease. But for players who chase the kind of dread that lingers after the screen goes dark, Necrophosis: Full Consciousness offers one of the more distinctive visual identities in the genre, and it is on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam as of today.
