It’s terrorized PC players…now the survival horror game Monstrum is heading to consoles and can’t be stopped! You’re stuck on a cargo ship, and while you’re looking for a way out, you have to deal with one other passenger…a bloodthirsty monster!

That’s the creature you’re dealing with in Monstrum…it pursues you relentlessly, and you can’t kill it…you can only slow it down and get it off your trail for a while.
