Mind Over Matter: Surviving the Madness of Beneath2025-10-17When 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.In practical terms, the lower your Sanity, the more damage you take from enemy attacks. Terror doesn’t just haunt you - it weakens you. When your mind succumbs to fear, your physical defenses crumble, leavi

Every Bullet Counts - Surviving Beneath’s Scarcity2025-10-10One of the core design philosophies of Beneath is simple: scarcity creates fear. In most action games, ammo is plentiful and reloading is just a reflex. But Beneath isn’t about mowing down hordes. It’s about deciding whether pulling the trigger is worth it - because every bullet you spend is a resource you may desperately need later. Use these top tips to make it to the end of our Steam Next Fest Demo:Why Scarcity Works Horror isn’t just about monsters. It’s about helplessness, risk, and the dread of running out when you need something most. By limiting ammo, we’re asking you to: Think strategically. Which fights are worth engaging? Which are

From Playtest to Next Fest – The Evolution of Beneath2025-10-08A few months ago, a group of early playtesters took the first tentative steps into the world of Beneath. You were our pioneers, and your feedback gave us the clarity we needed to push the demo deeper. Today, we want to show you what’s changed and what’s coming as we head into Steam Next Fest on October 13. What the Playtests Taught Us The first playtest was stripped down, raw, and experimental - exactly what we needed. From that session, we learned: Combat needed weight. Weapons worked, but they lacked impact. The AI wasn’t quite balanced. Enemies needed to stalk smarter, push harder, and punish recklessness. The Omnium soldiers also seemed t
Welcome to Beneath – A Descent Into Survival Horror2025-10-06Welcome to the abyss. Welcome to Beneath. Beneath is not just another horror game. It’s a descent into darkness, where every shadow carries weight, every choice holds the difference between death and survival, and every sound in the deep might be the last one you hear. Check out the demo here: At its core, Beneath is about survival, scarcity, and sanity. Survival against hostile forces lurking in an environment that wants you dead. Scarcity in resources that force you to weigh every bullet, every med-kit, every step. Sanity tested by fear, trauma, and a creeping psychological toll that rewrites your reality. The Story Beneath the Surface You
