Hotfix 2 Now Live
To enable this new camera, please enable the experimental setting in the settings menu, under the controls tab. This new camera system should feel much snappier and responsive for keyboard and mouse players. PLEASE give feedback on this new camera system. We'd like to make it the default at some point for keyboard and mouse players if the majority of people find it to be an improvement.
It appears that a non-trivial number of bug reports have been due to the game not fully initializing due to steam/steamworks not being available when the game launches. I am working on more robust fixes around this but in the meantime I have added a basic check on the title screen to ensure that initialization has occurred. If you see a red error message please try restarting the steam/the game to see if it fixes your issue.
Based on issues reported it looks like there will be at least one, but more likely two hotfixes left before we settle into our normal update cycle. I'll post more information as we get those hotfixes out and settle into our normal cycle. Cheers, Ryan

- Monsters and Monocles [Linux] [188 M]
Monsters & Monocles is a frantic, Victorian steampunk themed twin-stick shooter all about using teamwork and heavy weaponry to battle the hordes of evil. A naive occult collector has unknowingly unleashed a great evil that is spreading across the globe, and it’s up to you and a team of quirky paranormal investigators to find the source of this dark energy and blast it back to where it came from.
Take on the challenge solo, or play with up to 4 players online or locally. Your team shares a single pool of lives so you need to stick together, revive fallen comrades, and watch each other’s backs.
Search out and use powerful weapons to aid you in battle like the blunderbuss, stake launcher and the crumpet cannon - a steampunk toaster that fires weaponized crumpets.
Find and equip relics to customize your weapons and add new abilities to match your play style, and upgrade them by looting chests and destroying enemies.
Each level is procedural so you and your comrades will be faced with unique enemy placement, traps, secrets and objectives each time you play. Your trusty airship the HMS Scone acts as your hub and lets you gear up before taking on challenging levels like the haunted mansion, snowy Victorian streets and a cursed Pharaoh’s tomb. Each area ends with a fearsome boss encounter, such as a demonic chimney sweep or a giant cyclops skull.
