About VIVARIUMS

Experience the first-ever first-person Sudoku horror as you descend the reverberating infrastructure of the Typhon Obelisk layer by layer. Solve Sudoku, run, and hide as you unravel what kind of horrors lie within. Will you be able to successfully rejuvenate the obelisk back to life and save the world from drowning?

 SUDOKU... BUT HORROR 

Solve randomly generated Sudoku puzzles of varying difficulties with their accompanying atmospheric levels and environments. No layer plays out the same.

 YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE SOLVING SUDOKU 

Something's moving between the endless pipes of the Typhon Obelisk... Better lay low and avoid making mistakes; you do not want to draw its attention.

 RISK VS. REWARD 

Utilize scattered devices and machinery around you to better your chances of survival. Are you willing to sacrifice a save station in order to solve a random cell in your challenging Sudoku puzzle? The choice is yours...

 DIFFERENT WAYS TO PLAY 

Challenge yourself to an enduring one-life run in the Endless game mode, or perhaps a Daily Run would be more your style? If you ever feel crafty, design your own VIVARIUMS experience in the Custom game mode.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's original concept combining Sudoku with horror elements, noting the atmospheric tension, engaging gameplay that rewards strategic thinking, and fun cooperative potential. However, some find the premise divisive—particularly those who dislike Sudoku—and the AI enemy can feel inconsistent or overly punishing once detected, though most still appreciate the creative execution and immersive dread the game creates.

An interesting premise executed pretty well! If you know how to play Sudoku, the classic number puzzle game, but felt like it needed more dread, then this is the game for you! We had a great time with friends navigating the terrors and obstacles to filling out the numbers whilst being pursued by the enemy roaming the level. Fun with friends that can help fill out puzzle while the player keeps track of saving and putting in the correct numbers. PROS: *Awesome idea that I would've never thought of *Multiple levels with new gameplay challenges integrated in slowly *Atmospheric sound and visuals that keep you tense CONS: *Monster can be a bit unforgiving once you're spotted Oh!

Honestly i almost shat my pants. the game's graphics and atmosphere are actually super captivating, and the way you are forced to strategize and plan your "path" is super engaging. you have the freedom to win in a number of ways, and none of them save you the terrifying, soul-ripping DEMENTOR'S KISS you feel when that ♥♥♥♥-ass hunk of metal chases you. 10/10, would recommend u play with brown pants on. EDIT: Just played level 4. actual schizophrenia in first person
