Our take on Montas
The presentation emphasizes atmosphere, intrigue, and varied environments, while the stated survival interactions focus on evasion, hiding, environmental use, and exploration. The Early Access description also frames the current version as part of development toward a later Unreal Engine 4 release.
What is Montas?
Montas is a first-person survival horror adventure focused on exploration, atmosphere, story, and interaction.
Players take the role of Joseph Walker, an accountant troubled by nightmares, hallucinations, alcohol dependence, and growing paranoia as police investigate local murders. The game presents a mysterious world with little initial explanation. Survival involves running from or hiding from enemies and using the environment while exploring underground labyrinths, secret areas, and hidden content.
Locations and conditions range from bright to dark, old to new, safe to dangerous, and real to imaginary. Montas supports keyboard and controller play, along with Oculus Rift DK1 and DK2 support described for its Unreal Engine 4 final version. The Early Access version was built with UDK, while development continued toward the final release.
