About the Game

You traverse a buried facility to perform what seems like a routine maintenance job: restore the power to each floor, return to the elevator, and continue downward.

The assignment is anything but routine.

Explore an abandoned underground complex where the facility changes with every attempt. Locate and activate the required breakers on each level while avoiding malfunctioning security systems, environmental hazards, and something far more dangerous hunting through the darkness.

The deeper you descend, the smarter and more aggressive the creature becomes. Learn its behavior, use the environment to survive, and uncover what SaniCore was really hiding beneath the surface.

HOW TO SURVIVE

Each floor presents new survival problems. Search branching corridors for the breakers needed to restore power, find keys and supplies, unlock blocked routes, and return to the elevator before the dangers below catch up with you.

Room layouts, routes, item placement, and hazards change with every descent, so memorizing a safe path is impossible. The deeper you travel, the more aggressively the creature hunts and the less predictable the facility becomes.

FEATURES

  • Different Facility Every Run - Room layouts, routes, objects, supplies, and hazards are procedurally arranged, making each descent unpredictable.

  • An Evolving Threat - The creature becomes more intelligent and dangerous as you reach deeper levels.

  • Hostile Conditions - Survive traps, automated defenses, darkness, and the remains of SaniCore’s failed operations.

  • Restore the Power - Locate the required breakers, reactivate each floor, and make it back to the elevator alive.

  • Uncover the Truth - Piece together the facility’s history through notes, employee records, and evidence left behind.

  • Reprinting - Death is not the end of your employment. SaniCore’s automated reprinting system sends another copy into the facility to continue the mission.

How deep can you get before the creature learns your every move?
