About the Game

In search of adventure, you and your friends set out to explore an abandoned mine. After a sudden collapse, you become separated from the group and, while searching for a way back to the surface, discover something that should never have existed.

Deep beneath the earth lies a secret Soviet research complex whose existence was never officially acknowledged. Decades ago, the facility was completely isolated from the outside world, and all information about the experiments conducted there vanished without a trace.Explore abandoned laboratories and tunnels as you uncover the history of the complex. Project Collie was created to grant a living creature intelligence and freedom from death.

The deeper you descend underground, the more questions arise. Why was the complex sealed off? What happened to its personnel? And is everything buried beneath the mountain truly dead?

Buried Life is an atmospheric first-person adventure featuring exploration, puzzles, and psychological horror elements.
