## What is Mortigen?

The lab went dark. The infected are still moving. You are one of the few survivors left inside.

Play as Dr. Luisen, a biochemist trapped in the Mortigen Biopharma annex and the only survivor who knows the full truth about what the company released. Keep moving, build an arsenal from the outbreak, and survive long enough to confront the mentor who caused it.

Move. Build. Survive.

Mortigen is a top-down auto-fire survival shooter where movement and positioning are always under your control. Your weapons target and fire automatically, leaving you free to dodge, explore, and choose the upgrades that define each run.

Forge weapons from the outbreak

Turn bile, bone, marrow, nerve tissue, and unstable serum residue into piercing rounds, plague grenades, chain lightning, a crowd-clearing Wind Cannon, a close-range Bone Sword, and the relentless Rot Halo.

Create elemental builds

Frost Plague and Storm Serum enhance your projectiles, grenades, Wind Cannon, and Bone Sword. Freeze a packed horde, shock the same targets, and combine both effects to control the lab when the pressure peaks.

Face Nidhogg

He roams the annex from the start and hunts when you enter his territory. Every horde he survives fully heals him, increases his max health by 15%, and pushes him toward a more dangerous phase. Challenge him early or meet him at full strength later.

Explore a different annex every run

Procedural generation rebuilds the corridors, rooms, hazards, secrets, and breakable equipment. Search remote rooms for the Crimson Heart, challenge Sobek and rescue the dog before your transformation frightens it away.

### 5/5 — Awesome survivors like

*2026-07-31*

I love this game. I play it in the late evening to unwind. It really reminds me of vampire survivors it has the rhythm down and I love the aesthetic. Takes some getting used to but it’s super satisfying.

### 1/5 — Too many ads for nothing

*2026-06-07*

There are too many ads and problems everywhere.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for trying the game. I'm a bit confused about the ad complaint, as I don't use any forced or pop-up ads at all. The only ad is completely optional and just gives you a revive if you want to keep your run going! I take bugs very seriously, though—as a solo developer, I want to make sure the game runs smoothly for everyone. Could you drop me a line at drluisen@icloud.com to let me know what 'problems' you ran into? I'd love to get those sorted for you!
