Imagine being trapped in a 1970s Swedish submarine, fighting oil-spewing zombies and a creeping “Sludge”. That’s the premise of Heavy Metal Death Can, the debut survival horror game from Sweden’s Krufs Productions, expected to release on Steam in 2026. A new trailer showcases a blood-soaked blend of retro terror and modern style, sure to haunt fans of classic horror.
Set in an alternate 1970s Sweden, Heavy Metal Death Can puts you in the boots of a naval officer on a military submarine. The Sludge has corrupted your crew into grotesque monsters. You must sneak through claustrophobic corridors, scavenge for survivors, and solve the mystery of the chaos. With fixed camera angles and tank controls reminiscent of late ’90s horror classics, the game creates a tense, cinematic atmosphere.
It’s pure Swedish surrealism, mixing cultural details like authentic 1970s naval uniforms and submarine control panels with chilling industrial horror. Your choices shape the story, leading to uneasy alliances and bizarre encounters that reveal the submarine’s dark secrets. “It’s a place that feels familiar yet wrong,” says the Krufs Productions team, who even visited a real submarine for authenticity. If you’re a fan of Resident Evil, this game is definitely worth checking out.
