Caput Mortum Build 19830149

Caput Mortum is a compact, atmospheric first‑person horror experience that wears its inspirations-retro 3D dungeon crawlers and classic survival horror-on its sleeve. Set inside a tower of forgotten nightmares, the game favors slow‑burn tension over jump scares: every door may hide a new terror, every corner a piece of forbidden knowledge. Exploration, observation and puzzle‑solving are at the core of the experience, and scarce healing items reinforce a sense of vulnerability that matches the game’s old‑school roots.

What works well
- Strong, oppressive atmosphere - best experienced with the lights off and headphones on.
- Focused design: short, tense run time that concentrates on mood, exploration and story fragments rather than bloated mechanics.
- Puzzles are woven into the environment and reward careful attention.
- Enemy variety keeps encounters fresh and forces players to mix stealth, combat and avoidance.
- Limited resources and health make choices meaningful and heighten tension.
- Control schemes that intentionally emphasize vulnerability, including options for nostalgic playstyles.

What to expect
- A deliberately slow pace that builds dread rather than relying on frequent scares.
- Encounters with nightmarish beings that can be bypassed, fought, or otherwise outwitted - but always at risk.
- A hand‑control mechanic that separates viewpoint from interaction/attacking, enhancing immersion and making simple actions feel weighty.
- A short, replayable experience for players who enjoy atmospheric horror and retro design.

Key features
- Short first‑person horror inspired by retro 3D dungeon crawlers and survival horror.

- Unique control options that separate your right hand from camera movement to interact and attack.
- Multiple control schemes: Controller (Default), Controller (King’s Field), Controller (Modern), Keyboard Only, and Keyboard & Mouse.
- Designed to make the player feel vulnerable while remaining fair.
