To close out the year, Black Lantern Collective and WildArts have just come out with a Nintendo Switch version of Caput Mortum. The game is live as a digital download.
Caput Mortum is a first-person horror game. Players will be transported to 16th-century France as they enter a seemingly abandoned alchemist’s tower.
More information can be found in the following overview:
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.
Key Features
- 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!
