A downloadable game for Windows

When an experiment aboard an asteroid-based bioresearch greenhouse facility goes horribly awry, WeedX Interstellar is called in to scrub the site of invasive plant species. Little did the crew know that the situation was far more dangerous than the client let on. Can you find a way off of the doomed facility before the carnivorous plants turn you into all-natural fertilizer?

Haustorium was originally created in a 48-hour game jam. All assets for the game were created in-house, mostly during the jam itself. The Director's Cut includes fixes and a number of features that didn't make the deadline for the original version.

Controls:

  • WASD to move
  • Left mouse button to fire stun gun
  • E to interact
  • F to toggle flashlight
  • esc to pause/skip

Install instructions

On Windows, you only need to download and unzip the files, then double-click Haustorium-Unity.exe to run the game. Have fun!

While it should be possible to run the game on other platforms, it will need to be built from source. This requires some technical knowledge and there is no official support for doing so at this time. The source can be found here: Haustorium-Game/Haustorium (github.com)
