Early Access Game

Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

Note: This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I feel the game is developed enough to play like a "proper" game, but there are several things left to do that would benefit from heavy feedback before a full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Hopefully not for long -between 6 months and a year at maximum. Even sooner, if things go smoothly (they never do)”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“These are the main additions I plan on working on for a potential full release. All of those are subject to change/scrapping depending on user feedback and newfound limitations:

Extra map areas to enable/disable for your match: Warehouse, Research Lab and Waste Disposal.
Extra modules for the training environment, both single and local multiplayer (shooting range, arena)
Simple NPC additions to enable in matches, either for a single player experience or to add some spice to local multiplayer.
A good hard look at the sound and music system in the game, hopefully a full revamp.

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A small but fully playable VR vs PC local asymmetric multiplayer game, with numerous modifiers to customize your matches, but with basically non-existent singleplayer gameplay.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game will not be priced differently during and after Early Access. Unless I somehow do something very very cool with it. Then I might increase the price. But that is unlikely.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The game has been already 3 years in development, with almost 2 of them having user feedback in one way or another. In that time, a very small but surprisingly active community has formed where strange people harass me to tweak things on the game. My guess is this Early Access release will be like that but on steroids.”

About This Game

Escape from Mandrillia is a local asymmetric VR vs PC horror game. A single player using the VR headset takes the role of a robot escaping an underground facility. Up to 2 players at the computer (using either mouse+keyboard or controllers) control the Mandrillians, giant alien monkeys trying to hunt down the VR player.

VR vs PC LOCAL ASYMMETRIC HORROR

VR GAMEPLAY
On the VR side, the gameplay is a survival horror/stealth shooter.

Evade the Mandrillians, or face them -just remember the odds are against you!
Use your battery-powered Multitool to cloak, detect nearby enemies, or stun them if things get hairy.
Search for any weapon you can get your hands on -there's over 20 unique weapons, from conventional firearms to flamethrowers, crossbows, chainsaws and more!
Progress by locating keycards and solving minigames to open new sections until you can finally escape

PC GAMEPLAY
The PC players control the Mandrillians in third person.

Use your monkey senses to track down the VR player
Quickly move around the map using the air vents
Psychologically torture the VR player like a true apex predator

CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE

Match modifiers let you tweak every single parameter in the game: HP values, the way the PC players respawn, loot styles/progression, monster weakpoint calculations...

The included Match Presets are pre-curated clusters of match modifiers you can instantly apply. Think the PC players need a bit of an advantage? Use Mandrillian Bias. Or if you feel too overwhelmed, go for Robot Bias. Maybe you want a full survival horror experience where you start with no weapons and the monsters are almost indestructible? Horror Mode is for you. Or maybe you just want to unwind and let endless hordes of Mandrillians come at you and mow them down with heavy weaponry: Super Soldier got you covered.

You can mix and match all these settings and presets with no restrictions -sky's the limit!

PLAY WITH YOUR ONLINE FRIENDS USING STEAM REMOTE PLAY
