Monstrum II pits players against a terrifying monster that is controlled by another player in a procedurally generated horror labyrinth. The survivors must escape the grotesque experiment taking place onboard the decaying 1970s era sea fortress, all the while evading the horrors within.
Players will have to think on their feet and adapt to a dynamic, open-ended horror playground. It’s down to you how you tactically exploit the different environmental and gameplay challenges generated with each playthrough, regardless of whether you’re playing as the survivors, or as one of the deadly oceanic monstrosities hunting them down.
As a prisoner, explore Sparrow Lock to clear obstacles, unlock new areas, and find useful items that can help you outwit the monster and solve puzzles to escape. But remember: stay hidden and out of sight. If spotted, you’ll enter an intense game of cat-and-mouse, vaulting and sliding your way to safety if you hope to survive the chase.
There are countless solutions to the ever-changing obstacles in Monstrum II, whether you’re using scavenged items to access hidden routes; brutally smashing through destructible objects; climbing the environment to ambush your prey; working cooperatively with your fellow survivors to reach important equipment, or going solo and hiding to stealthily avoid detection.
Combining first-person stealth gameplay with a puzzle-first focus on survival horror, players will need to strategize a means of escape together, rather than confronting the monster head-on. With scalable difficulty adjusting to the number of players and procedurally generated layouts, traps, rooms, and puzzles, no playthrough will be the same!
Monstrum II is available through Steam Early Access for $14.99 / £11.39 / €12.50 / RUB 360 / $(AUD) 21.50. Players who purchase before February 4th will receive bonus content, including skins from the original Monstrum and an exclusive nameplate!
As a monster, choose from three terrifying experiments: each with its own distinct abilities and playstyle. As the imposing Brute, use your hulking frame and strength to smash through walls, teleport to your victims as the Malacosm, or stalk your prey in the shadows as the Bhagra. Regardless of your playstyle, each monster leverages the environment in unique ways to ambush unsuspecting players.
“From a group of fresh graduates making an indie passion project to building our first full live multiplayer game, it's been quite a journey and a huge learning experience. It's both exciting and scary to officially launch Monstrum 2 in Early Access, and to finally get the community involved with the game,” said Adam Dart, CEO of Junkfish.
Monstrum II will launch on PC (Steam) in 2021, with plans for current and next generation Playstation and Xbox consoles to follow.
