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.
Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Nintendo publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

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!
The game is pretty good, does its job super well and is a bite sized creative little gem. It's a buy for me.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This game made me destroy my local datacenter
a short exploration-based horror experience that wears its influences on its sleeve. who knew a tower in france could be so thrilling to go spelunking in! i think i would have preferred for the puzzles to be a *little* more difficult but they accomplish what they set out to do fine. environments are eerie yet gorgeous and ambience serves to complement them excellently. the unorthodox control scheme definitely adds tension to the game's encounters but if they're uncomfortable enough for the player there's a plethora of control schemes to choose from, including mouse and keyboard support maybe the caput mortum was the friends we made along the way! :)
很不错的小品，氛围十分到位
Genuinely excellent and short horror game. Would more than recommend this to any horror fan, or anyone who's wanting something short and sweet!
Loved it! Creepy atmosphere, great music, simple but enjoyable puzzles. The unusual control scheme adds to the tension, but there are lots of options to make the controls more approachable. It's short and sweet, but I missed some secrets, so I might go back for a second playthrough. Great game overall and it's nice to see that indie devs hold the fort against gen ai.
very creative hand-movement mechanic and they really did some scary stuff with it, was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ my pants while playing.
Александр Бренненбургский одобрил. Красивая, компактная, со свойственным жанру непроявленным сюжетом. Интуитивно ты понимаешь, зачем и куда движешься, но чтобы глубже понять устройство мира, надо слегка пораскинуть мозгами. Очень понравились загадки. Не самые сложные, но и не уровень класса коррекции. Особенно запомнилась беготня от школяра на втором уровне. Вроде все ответы уже были на руках, но руки-то заняты рисованием жестов. Где тут окно для размышлений? Кстати о руках. Да, к механике управления ладошкой пришлось прилично так привыкать, однако для меня это неудобство окупилось. В некоторых моментах приходилось прилично напрячься, чтобы не получить по лицу в процессе смены оружия и наведения "прицела". Но это я могу записаться лишь в плюсы. Игры никогда не перебарщивает с кривостью управления и дает ровно такую степень неудобства, какая присуща эталонным сурвайвалам. Немного правда расстроило количество хилок. Думаю, где то одну треть из них можно было бы убрать и тогда бы тревогу игрока можно было бы ножом резать. А так все просто хорошо. Спасибо разработчикам за это чудное приключение с привкусом жидкости неизвестного происхождения!
6折买的，你这个体量不值这个价啊，内容太少了，自己几斤几两是一点B数没有。 3折以下的话可以考虑，探索解密的小零食，质量是不错，体量太太太小。 还有我用手柄玩的，什么叫四个扳机键控制视角？右摇杆控制手丫子。 其实手丫子的操作完全可以绑定其他按键，比如LB锁定左摇杆移动改成移动手丫子，RB键锁定右摇杆视角改成移动手丫子之类的，都比现在更人性化一点。
