Caput Mortum

Caput Mortum is for players who like quiet dread and slow exploration. There's no rush here: you walk through a grim tower, listen for every sound, and think twice before opening the next door. The mood is thick and uneasy, and that's its strongest quality. What you'll like: - At first, your time goes to getting used to the controls: your hand handles everything from items to fights, and you'll quickly feel why you're so vulnerable. - It's a solo experience with no one pointing the way, so you piece the story together from fragments and notes. - Compared with other horror games in the genre, it leans more on resource management and caution than on jump scares. - Switching between control schemes changes how the game feels, so it's worth trying a couple before settling on one.

Caput Mortum is a short first-person horror experience inspired by retro 3D dungeon crawlers and survival horror games. Delve into a tower of forgotten nightmares, where every step could be your last. Overcome horrors from beyond death and unlock the secrets of forbidden knowledge. 🜍 SLOW BURN HORROR 🜍 Close the lights, put on headphones, and immerse yourself in the game's macabre world. Behind every door lurks a new terror, and in every corner a key to some eldritch secret. Pay close attention to your surroundings, overcome unique puzzles, and piece together the events that took place within the tower. How deep are you willing to go, and what terrible truths will you uncover? ☿ NIGHTMARISH BEINGS ☿ You must stay vigilant, as varied monsters roam the abandoned halls of the tower and won't hesitate to attack. Stealth past them, fight back, or perhaps... something else? Just be mindful of your health. There are only so many healing items in the game. This is old school, remember? 🜔 UNIQUE CONTROLS 🜔 Play with a control scheme reminiscent of old-school dungeon crawlers that makes you feel more vulnerable, and control your right hand separately to interact with objects and attack creatures. Several control options are available! - Controller (Default): The recommended way of playing Caput Mortum. The controls make you feel vulnerable while remaining fair. - Controller (King's Field): For nostalgic players! You can control the camera and move your character like in the King's Field games. - Controller (Modern): For players who want to use a controller with a more familiar control scheme. - Keyboard Only: If you don't own a controller but still want the feeling of vulnerability, this is the option for you! Control the camera and your hand with the arrow keys. - Keyboard & Mouse: This is for players wanting a more familiar experience. Control the camera and your hand with the mouse.
