About the Game

DREADSHELL is a first-person psychological horror game set in an underground drilling facility. What begins as a routine investigation into missing workers quickly twists into a terrifying nightmare beneath the surface.

  • Synopsis:
    The events take place in the distant future. Orbis General Resources extracts valuable materials from planets far beyond the Solar System and delivers them to Earth. Over the years, Orbis became the first company to offer work beyond our planet, sending teams to remote drilling sites across the galaxy. Workers were required to send daily pings to confirm their safety, creating a routine that lasted for years. That routine ended abruptly when one site stopped transmitting. With no contact and no explanation, headquarters dispatched an inspector to investigate. What was meant to be a simple check soon revealed that something had gone horribly wrong.
