It’s been too long since I’ve faced my old nemesis, Jack-o-Lantern Face, in the procedurally generated survival horror game Monstrum. The game left Steam Early Access almost exactly a year ago, an anniversary its developer, Team Junkfish, is celebrating by adding Oculus Rift support and an upgrade to the more powerful Unity 5 engine.
I don’t have a Rift, but I’ve spent enough time with the vanilla version to know that its brand of terror would pair nicely with the virtual reality headset.
The update is expected to go live tomorrow, on the game’s official birthday. It will also be temporarily discounted on Steam. Team Junkfish adds, “We have also addressed a number of bugs which will be detailed in the patch notes once the new build is live. Engine changes may result in some new issues that we may not have found during our own testing, so if anything does happen please let us know in our pinned Bug Thread.”
You can find that thread over here.
