9. Monstrum

Monstrum Gameplay Walkthrough

You’re on a cargo freighter in the middle of the ocean, seemingly alone but I think we all know that’s not the case...

Monstrum takes the popular survival/horror formula and spins it into an infinitely repeatable experience where the levels are never the same (procedurally generated), the threat you face may not be what you’re expecting, and death means game over.

Of course, you can continue playing after death but you wind up at the beginning of an entirely different scenario (different layout, monster etc.).

Your goal is elegantly simple: get the hell off this ship. Achieving that, however, is less simple. Whether your means of escape is via helicopter, submarine, or life raft, you will have to scour the ship in search of supplies necessary to get things working—all the while trying to evade the mysterious horror that lurks the halls. The game’s randomness means that you can’t just learn a few exploits or strategies and ‘master’ the game—because there’s a good chance they might not work the next time around.

You weren’t on the crew manifest: there are 3 different types of monsters that you may be avoiding throughout the rusty ship

Hurray for hygiene!: nothing like a miserably dank and decrepit environment to keep your spirits high
