Psychological thrillers can be some of the most clever games out there, as they constantly test your resolve and try to convince you that nothing is as it seems. Venatrix certainly appears of this ilk, throwing you into a supernatural world with just your wits about you. Prepare for thrills and frights!
Brains or Brawn?
Before exploring the crazy world of Venatrix – now available on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch platforms, we have a key choice to make. Into your adventure do you take the hardy Matthew Kolth – expert of the occult, and who prefers to shoot up his foes? Or perhaps you’ll side with Della Hartfort, who prefers to sneak off into the shadows, and avoid the conflict altogether?
Regardless, the Lovecraftian horrors present are sure to dish out a few frights, as we navigate dream-like sequences and discover the secrets of the multiple dimensions we journey through.
It’s safe to say that Venatrix is weird. Fans of Scorn and similar psychological horrors will find themselves very much at home here.
Now Available!
Venatrix can now be found on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and Switch.
We’ll look to get a full review of Venatrix for Xbox out soon. But before then make sure to check it out on the Xbox Store. It’ll cost you £12.49… and your sanity!
Game Description
Venatrix is a unique hybrid of action-packed and stealth-based horror game. We choose to play as either Matthew Kolth, an occult obsessed paranormal investigator, into nightmarish scenes to fight perturbing monsters from ghastly realms, or as Della Hartfort, as she slithers her way stealthy to avoid the same monsters Matthew is emptying his bullets upon.
Join either Mr. Kolth or Mrs.Hartfort as they both try to make sense of a hellish adventure that leads them into the depths of their own psyche and back again.
Live through their difference of reality-gaze which merges fiction and ethereal dream sequences and go on to fight against evil in this dimension…and the next.
Matthew Kolth is a paranormal investigator at the turn of the century that takes on a new case at Hartford Mansion. There he meets Della, the wife of a rich businessman that believes her house to be haunted. She sees visions of demons and beasts of other dimensions.
As a player, we have two deliberate choices: We either pick Matthew or Della, and both alternatives offer completely different play styles and adventures.
