Survival horror ramps up in this indie PC game set on a derelict cargo ship, where procedurally generated levels and permadeath keep every run unpredictable. Players evade AI-driven predators by scavenging tools, hiding in lockers or under furniture, and setting distractions to mislead pursuers. The ship shifts layout each time, relocating items and escape routes that demand repair from deep within its bowels.
Three distinct monsters bring varied behaviors and tactics, forcing adaptive strategies to dodge ambushes or direct assaults. Hazards like traps punish hasty movement, while opportunities to outsmart foes test quick thinking. Hardcore players who relish relentless tension and replayability face the ultimate test of wits and endurance.
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.
