There are enough decoys around the ship that can thankfully lead them off the scent. They are all sensitive to sound though the louder you are, the quicker they will find you. Each one looks scary and varied enough, and half the fun with Monstrum is not knowing who is stalking you, as this information is as random as the rest of the game. Whether the ugly interior was a purposeful design feature or just a lack of graphical fidelity is up for debate, but it is certainly not a place you want to spend anytime exploring.įurther to that are the monsters hunting you down: The Brute, The Fiend and The Hunter. And it is easy to get lost in the innards of the ship drab corridor after drab corridor will disorient you. Objectives for each escape vehicle are always the same – for example to escape via the helicopter you will always need to find the ignition keys and bolt clippers, likewise the submarine needs new lights and a welding job done on it – but the locations they will be found in are different every time. As for all the other equipment you require, that’s hidden around the ship. Your starting point always contains a torch, and usually a lighter and a fuse. Get caught and immediately it’s game over, and there are no save points to continue a run: once you start, you either escape or die trying.

Oh, and you will be pursued by one of three monsters whilst collecting the necessary items to aid your escape.

Nothing is known about why you are on this ship, only that you have three methods of escaping: helicopter, submarine and life boat. Monstrum is a first person procedurally-generated horror title where you find yourself on an abandoned ship and must escape.
