How it feels

A tense survival horror experience where you cautiously explore a dark mine, manage limited resources, and fight strange creatures in top-down perspective.

What players say

Players enjoy this free short horror game for its inventory system that requires opening the menu to reload and switch weapons, and its death mechanic where you respawn as a new squad member who can pick up dropped gear. Many wish for more story or content, and the 10-minute speedrun achievement is noted as tough.
