What's included in the Demo:

  • 1-4 Player CO-OP: Play by yourself or with up to 3 additional friends. Monsters scale based on how many players you have.

  • First 3 Floors: Explore the first 3 floors of the game (out of 10 expected for Early Access). The demo only contains a fraction of the monsters we have in store for Early Access.

  • 50+ Items: We have included 50+ items in the demo build, including multiple guns, scopes, suppressors, laser sights, consumables, etc. (300+ items expected for Early Access)

  • High Tension Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in a haunting soundscape and visual design that keeps your adrenaline pumping as you creep through the dark.

  • Procedurally Generated Floors: Each expedition offers a fresh experience, with layouts, loot, and monster placements changing every time you enter.

  • Perma-Death Mechanics: Once you die, that character is gone forever. However, we have included a "Clutch-up" mechanic where when playing with friends, only one person needs to extract successfully to ensure the survival of the whole squad.

  • Customize your Loadout: Equip a combination of different guns, scopes, magazines, suppressors and laser sights.

  • Proximity Voice ChatPlayer voices will be altered to match the environment (Reverb added to make players sound like they are inside a bunker).
