About Lamentum



Guide Victor Hartwell, a young aristocrat on a desperate journey to cure the deadly disease that afflicts his beloved wife, Alissa. Their last hope resides in the darkened halls of Grau Hill Mansion whose Earl has uncovered ancient secrets and forgotten sciences. He claims he can heal Alissa, but… at what price? Grau Hill mansion will open its doors and immerse you in a world of nightmares where you may be trapped forever.

Lamentum is a pixel art survival-horror game set in New England in the mid-nineteenth century. To solve the dark secret at the heart of Grau Hill Mansion, you will have to immerse yourself in a nightmare world full of terrible creatures.

Choose well in whom to trust, every decision you make may alter the course of the story.

Will you survive?

Lamentum is inspired by classic survival horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill along with cosmic horror masterpieces, especially the Cthulhu mythos.

Lamentum is a dark and adult-themed game, in which the player can enjoy classic survival-horror gameplay.

Lamentum is a classic survival horror, so our protagonist will attain different weapons and tools during his stay at Grau Hill Mansion.

Victor will need a lamp to see in the dark, to use lock picks to open sealed doors and chests and use restoratives to recover his health. A myriad of other tools will be needed to forge a path through this twisting nightmare world.

To defend against the dangers that haunt him, Victor will have many melee and ranged weapons at his disposal.

Each weapon is different and has unique strengths and weaknesses. Choosing your weapon carefully is essential to survival.

Firearms provide a huge advantage due to their range, but they consume ammunition, a resource that is scarce in Grau Hill Mansion.

Many items may be hidden at first, use your ingenuity to find them.

You can play Lamentum with keyboard and mouse (in the PC version) or use a gamepad.

Your inventory is limited, and you will have to choose which objects to carry at each moment. In certain places you can use the item box to store objects for later use.

Our inventory system allows you to create shortcuts to frequently used objects.

This system allows players, for example, to quickly switch between a melee weapon, a ranged weapon and a potion, making combat more agile and effective.

In addition, we can consult a diary that will record the thoughts and annotations of our protagonist.

The world of Lamentum is full of nightmare creatures, each of them with different behaviors and attacks.

Creatures are not the only danger in Grau Hill Mansion, there are traps that will reward your ingenuity or punish your mistakes with death, dangerous puzzles, and lethal environments.

During your nightmarish journey you will meet other characters and strange beings. Think carefully about who you trust and who you don’t… every decision you make can have important consequences.

Lamentum will have different endings depending on Victor’s decisions during the game. We want Lamentum to be a replayable experience and a challenge to obtain the best possible end.

This is either 2D Amnesia, or Darkest Dungeon: A Link to the Past. I don't know which it is yet... maybe it's both. Or neither. It's weird, dark, creepy and I like it.

Mediocre. I hope their next game's better because this just wasn't scary nor engaging at all whatsoever. I wouldn't recommend it even on a sale

I think it is a great game. The story is fine. It was interesting to see a mix of Lovecraftian and Frankenstein lore. The characters were memorable. The Eldrich horror was tangible. The gameplay was easy to navigate. There was enough variety of things to do, except maybe a couple, such as the doll. Even the non-negotiable punishments, such as the rope and first coin tossing into the fountain, are acceptable. There are problems, such as necessity to check every inch to get teeth and coins. Also, there are loop holes. More notes and more dialogues could fix the issues. Also, the final boss for S ending could be nice.

Well-portrayed battle between good and evil. My personal favorite ending was Redemption (Ending A) because of the depth to Victor's repentance and efforts to live in a more godly way as he raises Mary after the events of the game. God wins, evil loses, and a family is made!

This was maybe the best 2D horror game I have ever played. The game is fun, atmospheric and full of twists/complications. I loved the puzzles, which werent any hard, but they made you think about the puzzle, which is a great positive in a game full of mindless/automated fighting with monsters. The characters are interesting, even though you meet some for a brief moment throughout the game. The most difficult thing for me was keeping track of "quests" and where to go next, because that map is HUGE. In those games I always love the progression system, meaning you get better weapons by assembling them, completing puzzles, finding code combination for them, the same applies for the different locations and rooms hidden behind some findable keys or puzzles that need to be completed. Only real con was me wandering around the map and looking on for what to do next, but I had succesfully eliminated that thanks to a guide made by user "Skramz", which I want to give a big thanks for. The NPC/monster design was interensting and safe to say, original. To conclude, I want to say thank you to the studio behind this game and I am really looking forward to playing their upcoming game "INANIMA". Fin…
