Our take on Beastiarium
The store presentation foregrounds suspense, monsters, and a layered underground setting, but gives little indication of the quest structure, combat depth, or scale of the sandbox elements. The premise is specific; the practical shape of play remains less clear.
What is Beastiarium?
Set in underground Petersburg at the start of the 20th century, Beastiarium follows a society built below the surface after monsters invaded the planet.
Underground settlements have grown into cities with infrastructure and life-support systems, but renewed attacks keep residents inside and the Guard on alert. The story asks why people fear leaving home and who represents the real threat. Gameplay combines quests driven by the plot with action-horror encounters. Players explore a world with sandbox elements, investigate mysteries, and confront different monster species by discovering their weaknesses. Characters have individual personalities and histories, while the setting focuses on secrets, survival, and the tension between human communities and the creatures infiltrating them.
