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.

Boring and unscary, you could just buy literally anything else instead.

With horror, you either get it beyond perfect or not even vaguely scary. The scariest part is figuring out why all the walls look stained with crap. Don't buy unless you want to get barely in, and then get so bored you uninstall.

Game was overall amazing. I remember watching videos of when it first released and seeing how far it has come since then is amazing. It also runs amazing on the steam deck which is a plus if you want horror on the go.

Sluggish, slow, bad graphics, bad music. Plenty of other ways to waste your time.
