“While I'm skeptical of how long Monstrum can maintain its appeal, I can't deny how effective it is while it has you.”

About This Game

Monstrum takes the traditional survival horror formula and remixes it completely with procedurally generated levels, permadeath, and AI driven predators, ensuring that nowhere on its derelict cargo ship is ever truly safe.

Offering up a challenge to even the hardiest of gamers, Monstrum will force you to use your wits and whatever tools you can find to outrun or outsmart your pursuer. Attempt to escape from an environment that is out to kill you while evading the lurking terror that could be around any corner. Can you survive Monstrum?

Game Features

Three Unique Monsters

Face one of three monster types each play-through, each one with different behaviours and tactics. Can you work your way out of an ambush or escape a direct attack? And will the same actions work every time?

Procedural Arena

Prepare for a different gameplay environment each time you play as the ship's interior shifts shape with every run, changing the location of items along the way.

Escape Routes

Discover different methods of escape and delve into the bowels of the ship to recover items you need to repair them.

Opportunities and Hazards

Use whatever you can find to try and outwit the monster. Hide in lockers or under furniture. Use distractions to attract the monster to you, or, perhaps more wisely, to where you've just been, but be careful not to run too fast lest you fall into one of the ships numerous traps along the way.

Permadeath

Death is permanent. Get killed in Monstrum and you'll be starting again. In a different ship, probably against a different monster. Good luck. Start running.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Experience the horror of being hunted by a monster, while you try to survive and escape.
