She has us to face dinosaurs and various creatures while exploring the futuristic research complex.
Code Violet is an action game with elements of a survival horror. It was created by TeamKill Media - a development team, which has in its portfolio such projects as Kings of Lorn: The Fall of Ebris, Quantum Error and Son and Bone.
Code Violet takes us to the 25th century. As a result of a powerful cataclysm, Earth became uninhabitable, and those who survived fled to the planet Trappist 1-E to make it their new home.
The plan of rebuilding civilization was significantly complicated by the fact that a side effect of the global catastrophe was rendering people infertile. However, in the Aion colony, a grim solution to this problem was found in the form of technology enabling time travel. It was used to kidnap healthy women from the past and bring them to the future.
One of the victims of this procedure is Violet Sinclair. Trying to regain her freedom and save her loved ones, the heroine discovers that the complex she ended up in has been taken over by terrifying, aggressive creatures. Apart from fighting a fierce battle for survival, along the way our protagonist learns the secrets of the colony and the enigmatic Director who leads it.
In Code Violet we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). The game leads us through the interiors of the research complex and the territories of the Aion colony on the planet Trappist 1-E. While exploring these locations, we carry out missions set before us and face opponents, primarily using futuristic firearms. We regularly have to act quietly in the game, hiding and sneaking behind the backs of enemies.
Code Violet runs on the Unreal Engine.
The developers of the Dino Crisis-inspired Code Violet shared why the game will not launch on PC. Turns out it is to avoid players creating inappropriate mods.

Game Ratings for Code Violet Video Game.
GameOnly: 1.25 / 5 by Kamil Kozakowski
Code Violet is a true survival horror for the brave ones who want to play it. Reaching the end credits will be a genuinely tough and demanding challenge for any player. However, the price you have to pay for such a dull, repetitive, and poorly polished game is a real horror in itself, one that angers anyone that decides to buy it. It’s astonishing that it’s just the beginning of January and we already have a strong contender for the worst game of the 2026.
Nexus Hub: 5 / 10 by Sam Aberdeen
Code Violet unfortunately settles for being aggressively average. It has glimmers of good moments that are quickly overwhelmed by technical issues, uninspired gameplay and a bland story.
GamingBolt: 3 / 10 by Varun Karunakar
Code Violet is not worth recommending to survival horror fans. None of its elements work to make it stand out in a crowded space, and this one is going to be forgotten quite easily. You'd be wise to save your cash for another of 2026's offerings.
