Description
About This Game
Escape from Mandrillia is a local asymmetric VR + PC horror game. A single player using the VR headset takes the role of a robot escaping an underground facility full of alien apes known as the Mandrillians. Up to 2 players at the computer can either help the VR player fight the Mandrillians, or control the Mandrillians themselves.
VR vs PC LOCAL ASYMMETRIC HORROR
VR GAMEPLAY
On the VR side, the gameplay is a survival horror/stealth shooter.
Evade the Mandrillians, or face them -just remember the odds are against you!
Use your battery-powered Multitool to cloak, detect nearby enemies, or stun them if things get hairy.
Search for any weapon you can get your hands on -there's over 20 unique weapons, from conventional firearms to flamethrowers, crossbows, chainsaws and more!
Progress by locating keycards and solving minigames to open new sections until you can finally escape
In coop mode, maintain, repair, and reload your drone allies
PC GAMEPLAY
The PC players control either the Mandrillians or friendly combat drones.
Use your monkey senses to track down the VR player
Augment your abilities with cybernetic military upgrades
Quickly move around the map using the air vents
Psychologically torture the VR player like a true apex predator
Alternatively, join forces with the robot and fight the Mandrillian enemies
CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE
Match modifiers let you tweak every single parameter in the game: HP values, the way the PC players respawn, loot styles/progression, monster weakpoint calculations...
The included Match Presets are pre-curated clusters of match modifiers you can instantly apply. Think the PC players need a bit of an advantage? Use Mandrillian Bias. Or if you feel too overwhelmed, go for Robot Bias. Maybe you want a full survival horror experience where you start with no weapons and the monsters are almost indestructible? Horror Mode is for you. Or maybe you just want to unwind and let endless hordes of Mandrillians come at you and mow them down with heavy weaponry: Super Soldier got you covered.
You can mix and match all these settings and presets with no restrictions -sky's the limit!
