About the Game

Introduction

Project Descensus is a first-person survival horror game in which you play as an employee of a highly confidential organization that specializes in research and extraction of rare minerals.

An unexpected incident occurs at a research station and an evacuation alarm is triggered. As you run for the nearest exit, the ceiling collapses and everything goes dark. You wake up exhausted, drenched in blood and without a single living soul nearby.

In order to escape the facility, you will first need to touch the gates of hell buried deep underneath...

The Research Facility

Hidden deep within Oregon’s dense forests, far from any signs of human civilization, it’s the perfect place for conducting unethical research...

What lurks in the depths...

The horrors you will stumble upon have been resting for a long time. To overcome them, be smart, gather resources, keep moving, and listen to your surroundings.
