Local VR+PC horror: as a VR player, escape an underground facility full of giant alien monkeys. Up to 2 PC players can help you out controlling friendly drones... or crush you by playing as the enemy Mandrillians.
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 GAMEPLAY
On the VR side, the gameplay is a survival horror/stealth shooter.
PC GAMEPLAY
The PC players control either the Mandrillians or friendly combat drones.
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!
Don't want anybody getting their filthy hands on your expensive computer? Not a problem! With Steam Remote Play, you are one invite away from playing with any of your Steam friends!
