About the game

A closer look.

🦑 About the Game “ That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die. ” - H.P. Lovecraft A frank, sometimes surreal, other times horrifying story with a good portion of caustic irony and grotesque.. Simple controls and no "platforming", pixel-hunting or teeth-grinding puzzles allow you to concentrate on the main thing - the story and your participation in it. A unique atmosphere woven from real photographs, bizarre plasticine animation, and enchantingly murky music by Serge Bulat. Blood. Guts. Our own meat. Here are the Great Ancients sleeping in each of us. Should we fear imaginary monsters, or creatures crawling out of the depths of the sea? After all, they are only the wretched of this world. The unknown and fleshy within us - is the true, underlying horror of which we may not even be aware. A horror about to break free... Visceratum draws inspiration from the work of those who have been able to look into the abyss of humankind. Let's honor those names: Lovecraft and Kafka, Beksiński and Giger; Cronenberg, Švankmajer, Lynch. And many other masters of the dark arts gave a bit of their energy to the seed from which Visceratum sprouted. However, the game does not try to parasitize on the greats - by paying tribute to them, it seeks to construct its own reality. The strange visuals, сrawling at the bottom of the "uncanny valley", combining serious themes and drama with outright absurdity - create a special surreal atmosphere of Visceratum. Will you dare to step into these dark waters?
