About the Game

Dread Descent is a challenging precision platformer where you must delve into the caves of an inhospitable planet to locate an alien vessel. During the centuries it has been buried, the planet's now extinct population had set up traps around the ship to ward off anyone seeking to enter it and loot its ancient technology.

You play as SN 032-109-D, an unwilling conscript who has been sent to disable the ship's defenses to make it safe for a research team to come in and strip it apart. But to disable its defenses, you'll first need to survive them.
