About the Game

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.
🜍 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!
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.

Official update history
Hi!
This tiny patch aims to solve the loading issue some players experienced, specifically when loading back into the Tunnels. I changed how the checkpoints save the level data, so hopefully that'll fix the issue!
If you encounter any weird bugs, please let us know in the forums!
Thank you!
Here comes a small patch addressing a few things that were brought up to us:
Added a confirmation prompt in the main menu when you try to start a new game while already having a save file active.
Updated Spanish LATAM localization.
Fixed the number on the 7th door in the waterways.
Fixed the enemy's behavior bug that would sometimes make them stand still, doing nothing.
Added a check when picking up items to avoid related bugs when interacting and picking up things very quickly.
Apologies if this patch took a while. We've been busy making progress on the demo for our next title, Fright Train! It's an action survival horror game, like RE4, and we think people are going to have a blast playing it. ːsteamhappyː I'll make sure to post an announcement here once the demo is live!
We also have a couple of Caput Mortum sticker packs left in our store, so go grab one if you like!
Thank you, and let us know if you have questions or if you encounter any issues with the game!
Gab,
WildArts
Another lil' patch!
Here are the fixes:
Fixed a couple of issues with the Steam achievements. Those who had trouble getting them can retry from any checkpoint or by restarting a new game, and the achievements should now unlock!
Fixed an issue where you couldn't drop items after activating the last flower apparatus.
Fixed an issue in the main menu where the game would stay in "mouse and keyboard" mode.
We also added some more control options:
The game now supports AZERTY keyboards (option available in the Accessibility menu).
You can now use "C" as well as "Ctrl" to crouch.
Thank you!
Hello everyone!
First off, I wanted to thank you all so much for the incredible reception the game has gotten so far! It makes us so happy to see our weird project inspire and fascinate so many people <3
We have fixed a few issues in 1.1.0.0, so here they are:
Fixed two issues with the 'Untouchable' achievement: the achievement check is now reset when starting a new game, and both endings trigger it correctly.
Fixed an issue with the accessibility settings not being loaded properly.
Fixed an issue with the flashing intensity option.
Polished a few enemy navigation areas.
Set-up a new fallback font for extended Latin characters.
Modified some of the collisions on the furnace.
You can no longer see a prompt through the secret chest.
You can no longer hit skeletons once they are dead.
Fixed some minor particle effect issues.
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to post them in the forum. Thanks again!!
Come watch them experience Caput Mortum for the first time.
