Steal from the Dead. Pay the Living
Begraved is a first-person co-op dungeon crawler set in the decaying land of Goria where death collects its dues, and survival is a borrowed grace.
You are one of the Gravebound, condemned to loot cursed tombs around the city, driven by a corrupt balance of ruin and despair. Beneath the ground you delve, where forgotten snares await the unwary, whispers coil in the dark, and curses rest silent within relics long undisturbed. Your light is limited, your pack is small, and the Taxman will come whether you live or die.
Scavenge what you can, make it out alive, and pay your dues. Or face the rope, unpaid and unburied.
Loot Fast. Escape Alive
First-person dungeon crawling for 1 to 5 players
Procedurally generated tombs filled with hazards, secrets, and things best left undisturbed
Choose your tools such as torches, mallets, or gear with unusual traits
Limited inventory space forces tough choices between loot and survival
Solo play or co-op. Together or alone, the crypts’ horrors do not relent
Proximity voice chat intensifies cooperation, fear, and betrayal
Every expedition is a risk. Every step deeper is a gamble.
Death Collects Its Cut
The land of Goria does not care how you get rich only that you pay what you owe.
Return from a run and sell your findings to the Shopkeeper, a masked merchant who provides tools, gear, and quiet support. But every few days, the Taxman arrives, and he does not negotiate... or maybe he does? Fail to pay and your sentence ends at the gallows.
Decorate Your Hideout
Your hideout starts small and empty, a quiet space beneath the city waiting to be shaped. Bring back rugs, banners, beds, chairs, and other treasures from the tombs to decorate and make it your own.
Find pets to keep you company as you rest and prepare for your next run. Each item adds a touch of comfort and life to this fragile sanctuary in the darkness.
