About The Mantis


The Mantis is a brief, powerful online game that will leave you chilling. This Godot-powered PSX-style game combines horror, adventure, and mystery.

How to play The Mantis

Players are trapped in a restricted room with strange sounds, images, and a humanoid insect-like appearance in The Mantis. The little project uses missions, cutscenes, shaders, and pause menus in a retro style well.

The game's concept isn't really scary. You are in a building and encounter mysteries and hazards as you explore. The terrifying mechanism that only slows the monster when you stare at it creates tension. This subtle yet effective twist forces participants to face or embrace their fear.

Controls

  • Mouse: Hover to interact and explore.
  • Pick up the rubbish bag using a left mouse click.
  • Spacebar: Act or confirm.
  • Game pause and menu access with ESC.

Features

  • 3D retro graphics that evoke nostalgia and horror.
  • A terrifying but smart mechanic that uses observation.
  • Short, furious gameplay for a fast horror session.
  • A passionate independent project that honors vintage horror and learns.
