About This Demo

*The demo save file will carry over to the full game, however, we recommend starting from the beginning for the full release, since some things might change or be added to the first levels.

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, and control your right hand separately to interact with objects and attack creatures. Several control options are available!

  • Controller (Default): The recommended way of playing Caput Mortum. The controls make you feel vulnerable while remaining fair.

  • Controller (King's Field): For nostalgic players! You can control the camera and move your character like in the King's Field games.

  • Keyboard Only: If you don't own a controller but still want the feeling of vulnerability, this is the option for you! Control the camera and your hand with the arrow keys.

  • Keyboard & Mouse: This is for players wanting a more familiar experience. Control the camera and your hand with the mouse.

🜍 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.
