About the Game

     

After an accident, you find yourself trapped in a labyrinth of narrow tunnels inside a cave. With no room to stand, your only option is to crawl your way toward the exit. In this first-person survival dungeon crawler, death lurks around every corner. Observe, plan and make use of every resource you can find to stay alive.

You are your own compass. To escape, you must chart your surroundings—but remember, every mistake could be your last.

Your energy, health, and flashlight battery are limited. Use everything wisely.

There’s no way to walk, only crawl. Every bit of energy counts, so move with purpose and plan each movement.

Sound is your ally. By listening closely, you can detect dangers and uncover opportunities.

  • Immersive, claustrophobic environments.

  • Slow and tense exploration.

  • Movement completely limited to crawling.

  • Nightmares and dreams.

  • Brutal resource management.

  • Brief experience (it takes one to two hours to complete).
