Necro Mutex will be 70% off for the next few days as part of Steam's Lunar New Year Sale. I also found this new review from VoodooDE VR. He seems to have had fun, and it's a good sample of some very early gameplay. Thanks for the review, VoodooDE VR!
Version 1.6.1 has been released. The biggest change is that there's a new browser for the world. The entire world of 10,000 maps is laid out in a big 100 x 100 grid you can zoom in and out on. If you prefer the old browser, you can go to the misc options and use the old one inste

Attack Of The Retro Bots is now available! This is a family friendly reskin of Necro Mutex that has retro robots instead of weaponized undead. Since it's a reskin rather than a completely different game, I've made it part of a bundle with Necro Mutex, so if you own one you can ge
Version 1.4.6 has been released and has added a new method of doing step rotation in VR, called "Simple." This will be active by default for new players, while returning players will need to select it from the start screen options or VR options page. In the new method, you click

Today I've started work on Gameplay Version 2. This will consist of a lot of tweaks and changes, both big and small, that'll make the game more fun (and intense) for new players and old players alike. The goal is to have this ready in time for the Steam Summer Sale, so it should

Necro Mutex now has a new gun. The alt fire shocker attack from the flamer has been promoted to its own weapon, the Electrogun. It ranks above the rocket launcher in terms of price. Its alt fire is a concentrated long range arc of electricity, a handy complement to the short rang
As the player goes to higher and higher sectors, Necro Mutex is supposed to gradually become impossible. Unfortunately, user Kiddster didn't get the memo, and with a skillful and well honed playstyle has been thrashing tougher and tougher sectors without problem, recently beating
There had been an issue introduced by a buggy steamworks update that broke VR last weekend, buttons on the controllers weren't responding. Steam support has now fixed the issue, so Necro Mutex is good to go in VR again! Now you can try out the new 180 degree tracking and rotation

Since people are spending more time in the sub-1000 sector maps than I had expected, I've decided to redo most of those maps to make them more interesting. Originally the maps below sector 500 were just made from 2 rooms, which makes them quite easy but also means they lack the v
