Monria

About

Monria is a PC-based MMORPG that blends horror and role-playing in a cosmic setting. You join the Deep Space Extraction Corporation to combat an ancient evil on a distant planet. The game lets you tackle threats solo or with others using guns, melee weapons, or psychic abilities. Missions include mining for resources, crafting gear, and completing quests to avoid the creeping influence of a Lovecraftian force. A real cash economy lets you trade items for real-world profit and manage your own shop or apartment. The story focuses on resisting a mind-altering presence rather than straightforward combat. The game’s real-time trading system and cash economy stand out as a core mechanic, letting players profit from their in-game efforts. Built with CryEngine2, it offers detailed environments despite its 2013 release. The evolving narrative lets player actions shape the world while voice chat and community features encourage collaboration. With over a decade of live service, its mix of resource management, combat, and economic strategy appeals to those looking for a slower-paced but persistent MMO experience.

Storyline

Monria is a Horror 3D MMORPG expanding upon the “Cthulhu Mythos” and set in a distant future. The Deep Space Extraction Corporation (DSEC) has discovered and claimed a new astronomical body. There, they have found an ancient and incomprehensible evil. An evil so stealth, that one is unaware of how subtle and pervasive the effects can be on one's mind until it's too late. Untold numbers of inhabitants have gone the way of the dark side and have become quite restless. The Church of Cthulhu, an old Earth cult that legends say once devastated the universe, presents a mystery far too great for DSEC to unravel alone. The struggle is unending, and efforts to thwart the invasion of sense and sanity only seems to give strength to this invisible entity that wants to inhabit our every thought. DSEC is calling upon those who possess a strong will, and are brave enough to face the mysteries of the dark. You must be of sound mind, and able to resist the seductive nature of this invisible force, for Cthulhu is not a creature to kill, but an unfathomable and controlling energy that permeates an environment you may think is safe. It is not.
