About

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.
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?
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?
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.

Let yourself get lost in the tower - fumbling in the dark - your hands barely working, your mind unwinding. There is something there: a mystery you must uncover, horrors you must brave, but regardless it must be done. Enter the tower; be not afraid.
This game made me destroy my local datacenter
很不错的小品,氛围十分到位
clunky and intrusive in a way which elevates its theme. as others say, this is like kings field meets amnesia: the dark descent. nostalgic in its design and visuals as it attempts to convey a subtle message about the modern AI problem. it's a very short play, but i really recommend it, and i find looking at as little of it as possible to be most effective in enjoying your experience!
AMAZING VIBES. Actual gameplay is alright, but don't expect anything revolutionary. But the atmosphere is so brilliant I would recommend this even if it had no gameplay at all.
interesting control mechanic, creative puzzles that actually use that mechanic and a very promising full of potential story. i truly believe if devs had more budget, could be a masterpiece. a very short fantastical and philosophical horror experience with the tiniest bit of combat and/or escaping. had a lot of fun, very inspiring.
This was so so good. Absolute gem! The controls take a bit of getting used to, but they are crucial to the game's overall atmosphere and intent.
