About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

Claw your way through the tunnels

Destroy all the rubble in your way and find the truth!

They fear the light... Make it through their den before the lights turn off!

Use the backup hand-crank generator to bring light into the rooms! This should buy you enough time to run past before they get you.

Hit the underground pests with your rusty spoon!

The tunnels are infested with rats! Get them out of your way and maybe uncover things they were eating.

Don't get to close to their gate...

These subterranean freaks will not hesitate to grab you from their prison if you get near. Escape their grasp with a quick-time event!

Try not to fall!

Balance your way across massive chasms. Lean left and right to maintain your equilibrium or suffer the consequences of a long fall

There's something in the well...

You all heard it last night, something is moving down there. We can't just ignore it. Our water is almost gone and it's up to you to find out why! Tie the rope around you and climb down there... Let us know what you see.

Someone was building a prison down here...

An abandoned construction site for a prison? Where is everybody? Explore these abandoned ruins. Discover notes and clues that reveal the horrors that occurred down here. Find a way out
