In Caput Mortum, players descend into a forgotten tower in 16th-century France, once the home of a reclusive alchemist. As you explore deeper, you’ll face haunting mysteries and unexpected horrors in a game where silence speaks volumes and dread drips from every shadowed stone.
Darkness Beneath the Tower
The tower may appear abandoned, but the truth lies beneath. Caput Mortum slowly lures you downward through layers of unsettling chambers, each more cryptic and disturbing than the last. The atmosphere is thick with menace, from creaking doors to flickering candlelight guiding you toward things best left forgotten.
-
• Explore layered floors with unique, chilling architecture.
• Face quiet terrors and environmental storytelling that reveals more than any dialogue could.
• Endure without combat: use your wits and awareness to navigate the growing unease.
This is not a game of action—it’s a psychological experience, where the lack of noise is more deafening than any scream.
Unfolding Secrets of the Alchemist
Who lived here? What experiments were done? Caput Mortum encourages patient, curious players to dig into its lore. Alchemical relics, notes, and subtle clues paint a fractured picture of obsession, decay, and something far more sinister lurking beneath. You must:
-
• Uncover forgotten texts filled with symbols and strange formulations.
• Interpret cryptic environments that shift with each descent.
• Piece together a narrative born from madness, ambition, and betrayal.
Each new chamber is a riddle in stone, every artifact a piece of the puzzle that leads to a terrifying revelation.
Into the Unknown
As the descent deepens, the tower reveals its true self. The architecture becomes unstable, the atmosphere oppressive. In Caput Mortum, your only companion is tension. With no traditional enemies or weapons, your progress depends on attention to detail and emotional endurance. The game thrives on the following core experiences:
-
• Immersive, detail-rich design that demands close observation.
• A steady build of psychological tension rather than constant threats.
• A nonlinear journey where exploration is shaped by what you discover—and what you fear.
You’ll never be told exactly what’s happening. You’ll feel it. In the silence. In the air. In every decision to go deeper, knowing full well you might not come back the same.
Dare to Descend?
Caput Mortum is a game for those who love atmosphere, patience, and narrative unease. There are no jump scares to lean on here—only dread, decay, and the slow unraveling of what lies beneath. If you’re brave enough to take the first step, the tower awaits… but it may never let you go.
