Vertigo

Vertigo is a first-person 3D multiplayer horror game for six players: one takes the role of the Slasher, while the other five play as survivors. Each match lasts 8 minutes. Survivors search for a keycard, hide from the Slasher and reach an exit; the Slasher hunts them before time runs out.

Survivors and the Slasher

As a survivor, you use light to find your way, though it can also reveal your position. You can hide from the hunter, but the Slasher can open lockers and look under beds. Proximity voice chat lets players speak to nearby teammates, but the Slasher can hear them too.

As the Slasher, you stalk and listen for survivors, using night vision and a blade to hunt them down. Patience is part of the pursuit.

Game modes

You can create or find a LAN match over the same local network or a VPN, or practice alone against AI on the maps. AI can fill empty player slots as survivors or the Slasher, and you can choose its difficulty. When a human joins, they replace a bot. The Slasher can be assigned randomly, to a human player, to the AI or to the host.

Maps

• St. Agnes Ward: a dark hospital with beds, emergency lights and long corridors.
• The Backrooms: empty offices lit by fluorescent lights, where you are not alone.
• The Old House: a dim house with rooms bathed in red.
