Insanium

Insanium is a strategic game aboard the starship Cercopes, a freighter recommissioned as a scientific vessel. During an experiment, strange cosmic rays hit an ape known as Subject 42, making him faster, stronger and more vicious than any human. He seeks revenge on the crew, while an agent from P.E.T.S.S. (Promoting Ethical Treatment of Simians in Space) works to hinder them and help the rampaging ape. You must work out who the traitor is and decide what to do if you identify them.

Survive the ship

Insanium plays in real time, so Subject 42 keeps acting while you consider your next move. You can use a range of weapons and items, relying on trickery or trying to defeat him in direct combat. Secret items can also be crafted, though you must work out how to make them.

Different each time

The game has four difficulty levels, and each playthrough is different. Its visuals use a retro Spectrum 48k style. Insanium is based on a comic book by Joe Assi and draws inspiration from the work of John Heap.
