Beneath
Publisher: Wired Productions
Beneath is a Lovecraft-inspired survival FPS. Scarce ammo, merciless enemies and a sense of the unknown combine in a 10+ hour, story-driven single player campaign, built for both veteran gamers and those seeking a challenging old school experience.
Beneath takes you below the surface of an alien planet, into a world where darkness, pressure and isolation become enemies in their own right. You play a diver facing unknown creatures and a threat that goes far beyond simple survival.
The game combines underwater exploration, resource management and first-person horror. Progress depends on preparation, observation and choosing when to fight. Abandoned stations, hostile depths and traces of an incomprehensible presence keep the tension high throughout the adventure.
We loved: The atmosphere. Beneath builds fear through isolation and the unknown. Limited visibility, muffled sounds and underwater spaces give every movement real intensity.
We liked: The balance between exploration and survival. The game encourages you to move forward while asking you to prepare each expedition and save resources for dangerous situations.
Our highlight: The gradual discovery of the world. Facilities, documents and environmental details provide clues about what happened without explaining everything at once.
Our tip to help you: Light your surroundings before entering a new area and identify places where you can retreat. Do not spend offensive resources during the first encounter. In an underwater survival game, escape and discretion can be as useful as combat.
Who is this game for?
Beneath is aimed at players aged 16 and over who enjoy science-fiction horror, underwater exploration and survival games built around atmosphere. It is particularly suited to players who like slow, tense experiences focused on discovery.
