Curiosity Kills key art: a Brute swings a hatchet as the Contractor leads the monkeys against a horde of monsters under a toxic green sky, a titan looming in the haze

Out now on Meta Quest

Co-op VR horror. No legs. One flashlight.

You're a proboscis monkey in an abandoned research facility. Swing through the dark on your arms, hunt the things that live down there with your crew, and drag the bodies home for credits. Then ride the lift up to the Surface, where the biggest ones are waiting. Curiosity kills.

How it plays

Hunt. Haul. Get paid.

Four monkeys wearing a hard hat, goggles and a beanie push down a dark sewer channel, one holding a flashlight

The facility

Swing, hunt, haul

No legs, long arms. Push off the floor, swing up walls and climb with your hands through a huge facility built to be explored. Hunt its monsters with your crew, drag the bodies back to the hub's grinder and get paid. Rarer ones glow and pay more. Up to 12 players per room, with voice chat.

From the key art: a Brute in a hard hat, a Support, the Contractor, a monkey firing a toy dart gun and a Climber with a machete charge the monsters

The locker

Pick your monkey

Play as a normal monkey or pick a class, each with its own body and face. The BRUTE is huge, tough and hauls with ease. The SUPPORT is small, fast and hits hard. The CLIMBER can grip and climb almost anything.

From the key art: monsters gather under the Surface's toxic green sky while a titan, the Hollow, looms in the haze behind them

The Surface lift, level 20

Go up top

Reach level 20 and the hub's lift takes you up to the Surface: a mutated jungle under quarantine, with the Cordon's radio in your ear. Find the Contractor's hidden office, strap on a rocket jetpack, load a crossbow and take on the titans, THE MAW and THE HOLLOW.

In the Rave Cave: monsters dance on a glowing floor under coloured lights beside the waterfall

The mall and the Rave Cave

Hit the mall

Pick a ride at LAST LAP, bring a pet along (the RAFTLING climbs the walls after you) and grab food at the food court for timed speed, health and strength boosts. Start the RAVE CAVE at an events terminal and THE DJ plays his set in the waterfall caverns. Crash his party and the crowd turns on you.

Playing as a Porter in Monkeys vs Monsters: first person in a containment room, its lunge grab charged

The Game Modes room

Pick a fight

Hunt in co-op, hold out through the waves in Survival, play as the monsters in Monkeys vs Monsters, or unmask the Mimic hiding in your crew in Mimic Mystery. STORM THE CORDON is the big team mode: the monkeys break through the burning gates of the Cordon's fort and fight their way underground to its core reactor while the Cordon holds the line.
