Below is a premium adventure title for PC created by game developer Capybara Games. It’s a survival game wherein players will explore a subterranean world filled with dangers at every turn. They will need to do everything to survive and reach the deepest part to uncover its hidden secrets and mysteries.
Similar to This War of Mine, Below offers a dark and atmospheric presentation that tries to instill a sense of dread and fear in its gameplay. The game boasts a vast open-world abundant in flora and fauna that’s waiting to be explored by those who are brave enough.
Into the abyss
Below is a single-player adventure game set in the subterranean world of The Isle. In it, you will be exploring a labyrinthian maze filled with interconnected paths that lead deeper down its mysterious and seemingly bottomless pit. Every turn could lead you toward some form of life-threatening danger. As such, you should be prepared to face any and all possible situations along the way as much as possible.
The path in Below is filled with various deadly creatures, traps, and hazardous environments that will cut your journey short if you’re not careful. To increase your chances of survival, scavenge for materials to create tools and harvest ingredients to concoct remedies to cure yourself of various ailments. All of this, while you avoid getting caught by a dark figure that is ever-present and looming toward you.
A sense of adventure and the thrill of discovery are at the heart of the game despite all the gloom and doom. The Depths are filled with secret mysteries, hidden passageways, and buried truths that are waiting to be unearthed. One thing that you should know before diving in is that the game is incredibly slow-paced, and the whole experience essentially feels like a slow burn.
Down the rabbit hole
Overall, Below is figuratively and literally a dark adventure filled with surprises from start to finish. Beyond its dangerous paths and unforgiving environments lies a journey of discovery that is worth taking getting past all the obstacles and challenges along the way. It won’t be for everyone, but if you decide to give it a try, be prepared for quite a ride.
