20 Years of Silence

Your father raised you in an isolated bunker, training you for a war against the demons that took your mother. For 20 years, you learned discipline and the art of survival.

Now, he is gone. Left with only a cryptic note, you must venture out of your safe haven and into the treacherous depths known as The Below. With a blade in hand and a flickering lantern to hold back the shadows, your descent begins.

The Above

Find solace in the bunker and the towns. Trade, upgrade your gear, converse with the remnants of humanity, and prepare your mind. The Above is your only sanctuary.

The Below

A claustrophobic labyrinth of flesh, stone, and despair. Manage your lantern's fuel as you engage in brutal combat against grotesque horrors and towering bosses. Every step deeper is a risk.
