About This Game

Caput Mortum is a short first-person horror experience inspired by retro 3D dungeon crawlers and survival horror games. It focuses on exploration and atmosphere while providing puzzles, simple combat, and light resource management.

Unique Controls

Play with a control scheme reminiscent of old-school dungeon crawlers that makes you feel more vulnerable. Control your right hand with the right thumbstick to interact with objects and attack creatures.

Caput Mortum is meant to be played with a controller, but a more standard keyboard and mouse control scheme is also available.

Slow Burn Horror

Close the lights, put on headphones, and immerse yourself in the game's macabre world. You'll need to pay attention to the environment to solve puzzles and piece together the events that took place within the tower. How deep are you willing to go, and what terrible truths will you uncover?

Nightmarish Beings

You must stay vigilant, as varied monsters roam the abandoned halls of the tower and won't hesitate to attack. Stealth past them or fight back, but be mindful of your health: There is a limited quantity of healing herbs you'll be able to scavenge.
