Anyone who's played Mazm games before probably knows what you'll be working with. They have a distinct, recognizable style and lean heavily into the adventure and story side of the games. Their Jekyll and Hyde, The Phantom of the Opera, and Pechika have been very popular in the mobile gaming world. Cumulatively, they’ve had over five million downloads. This will be their introduction to the world of PC gaming. Thy Creatures has been in development following a successful Kickstarter in April last year. This means that MazM is breaking new ground here.

For information, let us tell you that with its dark horror themes, Mazm takes inspiration from the works of Mary Shelley, especially her most famous book, 'Frankenstein: or The Modern Prometheus'.

The adventure will pit the players against both the puzzles and a barrage game system. You can expect a test of your mental and physical reflexes. And, of course, interesting, dark visuals.
