Twisted Tower Turns a Theme Park Into a Bloody Climb to the Top

Theme parks are supposed to have rides, overpriced snacks, and mascots waving at children. Twisted Tower apparently looked at that formula and decided the mascots needed weapons to turn your fun night into a fright night.

Released August 18, 2026, Twisted Tower is a single-player first-person action-adventure from Atmos Games and publisher 3D Realms. The game drops players into an abandoned 1950s-inspired theme park filled with corrupted fairy-tale mascots, deadly traps, puzzles, and a tower that probably violates several hundred building codes.

 A VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF THEME PARK 

Creator Thomas Brush has openly cited BioShock, Disney World, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory among the inspirations behind Twisted Tower. That combination becomes pretty easy to understand once you see its whimsical attractions mixed with dark environments, strange characters, and considerably more violence than your average amusement park brochure.

Players are trying to reach the top of the tower while uncovering secrets connected to the protagonist's past and attempting to save the love of his life.

Of course, explaining a place this strange only gets us so far. So let's see what happens when the amusements attack.

 TOYS ARE NOW WEAPONS 

One of Twisted Tower's more noticeable ideas is its weapon selection.

Instead of handing players another collection of ordinary military firearms, Atmos Games built an arsenal around toys and amusement-park absurdity. Weapons include a rubber-band pistol, whack-a-mole mallet, dart-firing Tommy Gun, bubblegum chain-gun, sniper slingshot, ray gun and, because somebody had to do it, a farting shotgun. Excuse yourself with every reload.

Players can upgrade those weapons while collecting additional toys that provide abilities like grappling.

That gives exploration a little more purpose than simply checking behind every suspicious-looking crate because years of video games have trained us to do so.

 FIVE STOPS ON THE WAY UP 

The climb takes players through five major environments: a hotel, waterpark, clown casino, carnival forest and space station. Different paths can also be selected during playthroughs, giving players reasons to explore alternate routes if they return for another climb.

The combination of shooting, platforming, exploration, puzzles and environmental storytelling makes Twisted Tower more than a straight corridor shooter, even if shooting creepy mascots remains a fairly significant part of the job description.

 THE TOWER IS ALREADY FINDING AN AUDIENCE 

The early Steam response has been strong.

As of August 22, Twisted Tower has an Overwhelmingly Positive user rating, with 95% of 791 Steam reviews currently recommending the game. That number will continue changing as more players enter the tower, but the opening reception has clearly been positive.

Twisted Tower normally costs $14.99 USD, with a 10% introductory Steam discount bringing it to $13.49 through September 1, 2026. It is currently available for PC through Steam.

Anyone interested should also know that the game contains blood, gore and violence involving its monstrous mascots, so don't mistaken it for an invitation to bring the little ones along for the ride.

Twisted Tower takes the familiar idea of an amusement park and turns it into something considerably less OSHA-friendly. If BioShock-style atmosphere, strange weapons, horror and shooting fairy-tale mascots sound like a reasonable way to spend an evening, the tower is officially open.

Just keep your arms in the ride.
