The deluge of spooky video games this year has gifted us has kept me from spending as much time with Monstrum as I would’ve liked. The concept of scouring an environment for hidden items while being hunted by a monster — or in this case, monsters — but it’s done well enough that the familiarity of my actions rarely bothered me. It helps that Team Junkfish has come up with a handful of intensely freaky creatures, including my nemesis, the sinister Jack-o-Lantern Face.
Monstrum is currently scheduled for a full release on Steam on May 20, with support of the Oculus Rift VR headset following sometime this summer. For an idea of what to expect from it, I suggest you take a look at my review of the unfinished version.
