About the Game

After 10 years of sleep, Dr. Green wakes up in cryoprison on an Earth colony overrun by Mutants (former humans). Green has a past to atone for, but he also must find his estranged daughter Anna. On his way through the ravaged planet, he will be faced with intense combat, encounter survivors, and feel the wind of adventure. Will this story have a happy ending?

Monsterland is written on its own ASCII engine, its 4-hour campaign featuring a multitude of scripted sequences within 2D, Doom-style levels. There's also an option for hybrid ASCII/tile visuals. The game auto-detects Steam Deck and supports its controls.
