Caput Mortum
The tension between claustrophobic dread and tight controls keeps players glued for hours—nearly everyone rates it highly, even those who finished in under two. The game’s atmosphere outshines its brevity, with only a handful flagging bugs or a cramped UI as distractions.
What it's about: Voyage dans la France du 16e siècle et plonge dans les profondeurs mystérieuses d'une tour d'alchimiste apparemment abandonnée. Oseras-tu braver les horreurs qui te guettent dans l'abysse ?
