When you descend into the depths of Beneath, you’re not just fighting for your life - you’re fighting for your mind.

The Sanity mechanic lies at the heart of what makes Beneath so unsettling. Each time you come face-to-face with an Eldritch creature, the very fabric of your perception begins to unravel. Your pulse races, your vision distorts, and reality itself starts to fray. The more your mind fractures, the more exposed your body becomes.

How long can you last before your own mind turns against you?
