What is Monstrum?

In this first-person survival horror game, you try to escape a derelict cargo ship by finding items to repair an escape route while hiding from a monster. Each run changes the ship's layout and item locations, pits you against one of three monsters, and ends permanently if you die.

+you enjoy repeated escapes with changing ship layouts

Not for you if...

−you dislike starting over when a monster catches you
