About the Game

There's an urban legend, if you're obsessed with regret, you might meet a man with no arms one day in a thunderstorm. And if you see him, you'll soon be pulled underground by an unknown force.

No one has ever heard of anyone escaping from these tunnels of despair. Or are you saying you could be the first?

In this psychological horror game, you are drawn into dark, dank tunnels where every step is accompanied by the cold touches of sinister hands. They reach out to you from the darkness, trying to drag you deeper, into the depths of your own consciousness, full of regrets and worries. Your goal is simple, but agonizing - to get to the surface and return to your life. But will you succeed?

In the dark depths of the tunnels, light is your only ally. Explore tangled corridors, wade through fear and despair, avoid reaching hands and make sure you don't linger too long in the darkness. Each encounter with these ghostly fingers is not just a threat to life, but a reminder of bitter regrets that the hero tried hard to forget.

Game Features:

  • Gloomy atmosphere: Soak up the pressurizing atmosphere of dark tunnels, where light barely saves you from the darkness creeping towards you.

  • Tense gameplay: Balance between light and shadow, think through every move, find shelters and escape routes.

  • Deep symbolism: Hands are not just enemies, but the embodiment of regrets that are so hard to escape from. The game environment tells you a story - a story of fears, loss, and self-awareness.

  • Metaphorical overtones: Every element of the game is steeped in symbolism. It's not just about survival, but delving into the dark corners of the human mind.
