Invicta Vitae

Content Warning
This game contains blood and depictions of death along with a centipede-esque monster, so those uncomfortable with bugs, gore and mentions of death/self-harm should play with caution.

Invicta Vitae, 1v1  asymmetrical survival horror game, will pit two players against each other in a battle of wit and chase. Stealth is anyone’s advantage as sound determines one’s untimely outcome. Outwit the hunter as the harrowing scientist, where taking advantage of your surroundings and utilizing your tools ensures your survival until escape is viable. Outplay the hunted as the monstrous Multacrus Invicta where you are death crawling; a hulking yet swift centipede-like creature stopping at nothing to sedate its craving for flesh. Whether you are fighting for your life or chasing after your meal, only one comes out alive.
