BURIED BELOW
A downloadable game for Windows
This is the FREE DEMO version of Buried Below. The full game launches this summer.

An old tape replays your worst memory. A camping trip. A fierce storm rolling in. Your girlfriend vanishing near an abandoned mine. You've replayed this night until the tape wore thin. Tonight you take control, and tonight you go further than the memory ever let you. Can you survive the depths and find her, or will the memory never end?

Buried Below is an atmospheric survival horror experience. It opens with an interactive intro leading into a camping trip gone wrong. When a storm hits and your girlfriend goes missing, you venture into a vast, freely roamable forest, guided only by what a clerk told you about an abandoned mine nearby. Solve environmental puzzles to breach the sealed entrance and descend into the tunnels where your lighter's fuel is the only thing keeping the dark away. Use stealth, hide, and create distractions to evade what lurks below.

Very grateful to be a part of this production! It's my first time getting to voice in an indie horror game and it was such a fun experience!
Also played some of the demo already, and I love it! The night forest environment and the convenience store exploration you can do :], got to peek on a cockroach disco party that had a funny surprise at the end haha. Also had some jumpscares that definitely got to me.
Brings back memories of games I used to play when I was a little kid, ones with the low poly aesthetic. All in all, im thrilled for the full release!
