Godumas

Godumas is a first-person action horror game for solo play or co-op with up to four friends. Stranded on a strange island, you search for items, solve location-based puzzles and try to escape while avoiding the inhabitants, who hunt people for sacrifice. The island’s history begins with a story about a rich, isolated place where a terrible event forced a former resident to flee.

The island

After hearing the stranger’s story in a port bar, you and your friends take your dad’s boat to find the island. A storm carries you there, leaving your boat no longer seaworthy. As you head inland, you find an abandoned place once marked by villages, shops, religious life, mining and lumber industries, now occupied by strange humanoid creatures and cultists.

Find a way out

You can escape by one of two routes, each opened with specific items. Hints give information about exits and useful items, but only players who pick up a hint can see its information. The map does not show your location, so you must navigate using points of interest and other landmarks.

Enemies can be driven off with a flashlight or a special amulet. You can also sneak past them, throw stones to distract them, or hide in bushes and hope they leave. The game has four enemy types, each with a different way of attacking, and more players bring more enemies, items and treasure. Over 500 unique item spawn locations make each game different, and you can customize the gameplay difficulty.

Co-op and survival

Proximity voice chat lets you communicate with friends, but enemies can hear you, so whispering may help you stay hidden. If you are hurt, you cannot move; you or a friend can use a healing syringe to get you back on your feet. You can also be sacrificed and become a ghost, then help your team escape or search for items—or choose not to help.
