About Monstrum

About this game

NOTE: This game can only be used with the Oculus Quest/Quest 2 when the headset is connected to a VR-compatible Windows PC via an Oculus Link-compatible cable
 
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? 

Key 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 ship's numerous traps along the way. 

Permadeath 

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

tried in VR, doesn't really work as expected, PC controller is still needed, I guess it didn't age well

I love it. it is so so intense!

Difficult game for the patient
Verified purchase
Absolute beast of a game. The concept is very simple, but it has a great Replayability. The graphics are kinda outdated by now, but the atmosphere is still amazing. Sounds are good. There are some minor bugs, but nothing crucial.

honestly its a pretty good game to burn some time on. the reason i only say 4 stars is because you cant save and need to start from near scratch if you die or quit. fortunately it seems to get easier as you find where things spawn and where you can hide

no native Oculus controller support
Verified purchase
Seriously, why?! When you buy a VR game, a normal expectation is to be able to play it with your VR controllers. This game, like several others I've come across force you into using a separate controller or going down a rabbit trail of trial and error with user created hacks. Attention VR game producers: if you have a VR game on Steam in the year 2022 (even if it is old), invest the tiny bit of effort to build in native touch controller support!
