About this game

Creature Shock is a first-person shooter with horror and arcade elements. In an overpopulated future, the spaceship Amazon is sent to investigate Saturn and Jupiter as possible sites for colonization, but contact is lost near the end of its mission. Players join the crew dispatched to the ship’s last known location after a distress beacon is detected.

Combat takes place across asteroid surfaces and underground passageways filled with alien creatures of different sizes and types. Each enemy has a weak point that can be exploited. The game also includes Full Motion Video and two 3D sections focused on piloting the ship.
