About
Beneath is a Lovecraft-inspired survival FPS from a micro studio founded by two brothers, with a lifelong passion in horror and shooters. 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.
Seasoned diver Noah Quinn’s routine expedition plunges him into chaos, trapping him in the depths of the ocean, where an ancient evil lurks. As supplies dwindle and nightmarish creatures close in, Noah must confront horrifying mutations and unravel a sinister conspiracy that threatens humanity itself.
With his daughter’s life hanging in the balance, Noah is pushed to his limits in a desperate race against time. Can he uncover the truth and stop an ancient horror from surfacing, or will the abyss consume them all?

Created by two passionate brothers, Beneath fuses Lovecraftian horror with an action movie narrative set deep in the arctic ocean. You will race against time to find a cure for your daughter, fighting for survival as you travel between a series of research stations and discover the dark intentions of the Omnium Corporation.

Face a terrifying array of foes, from ruthless soldiers to grotesque Lovecraftian monstrosities. With limited ammunition you must manage your supplies, upgrade your arsenal and make smart use of environmental hazards to survive.

Nightmares have awoken in the depths. With your sanity slipping, you become vulnerable to the twisted visions and Eldritch abominations that attack your body and mind.

Going Old School: Created as a love letter to the classics by a micro studio founded by two brothers with a lifelong passion for the genre.
Fight for your life: Soldiers are hunting you with maximum aggression and unearthly horrors stalk your every move.
Lock and Load: Use a variety of upgradable weaponry to survive close quarter fights in destructible environments.
Sanity Under Siege: Keep your wits as you face nightmarish visions and creatures.
Secrets of the Deep: Explore the remains of research stations, investigating emails, PDA’s and survivor accounts to unravel a dark conspiracy.

Spiel und Idee sind eigentlich nicht schlecht, leider verderben einem die ständigen Mikroruckler aus dem Nichts, und die asynchronen Cutszenen den Spaß total. Der Rechner kann noch so toll sein, es hat nix mit schwacher Hardware zu tun, denn wie ich gelesen habe, hatten ein paar Leute ähnliche Probleme. Schade eigentlich , mir tut es leid um das Geld und die Zeit , die man investiert.
20 € ist alot to ask for a game full of bugs, bullet sponge enemies, samey leveldesign and terrible pacing. it truly feels like it was designed to waste as much time as possible, you could cut roghly 40 % of the game out and it would actually flow better. it has at least servicable gunplay (the bare minimum), other than that there is literally nothing worth of value at least for full price. Get it at a deep discount if you are truly interested or want to support the dev.
It's not a groundbreaking masterpiece or anything, but it surprised me in a good way. The atmosphere is strong from the start, becoming heavier and gorier as the game progresses. There are no cheap jumpcares, but a constant growing unease. Combat is solid and adds pressure without going full action. Resources matter, and bullets go out very quickly. Use headshots when possible and don't wast your MG on zombies. Nice combat and great atmosphere.
Avoid if you want to play at more than 60 fps. The game is really cool but is plagued by a very bad constant stutter that occurs when you move forward and your refresh rate is high (mine is 165 hz). There is a fix someone posted where you use special K to turn on some unity engine physics work around. Said fix works for about 3-4 hours but at a particular fire fight it causes a bug where it gets really laggy and bullets stop doing damage to you and enemies. The fix also causes weird physics issues where you fall very slow and grenades dont go as far but it is still very playable (until 3-4 hours have passed). Very sad since the game is so cool, but I will be unable to finish it. I could play it at 60 fps but that has become jarringly slow for me nowadays (yes first world problems).
If you grew up loving old school shooters, this one will hit right in the spot. You play as a diver trapped in an underwater research station / stations that have seen better days, fighting things that probably shouldn't exist, with never quite enough firepower to feel comfortable. It's tense in a way that creeps up on you rather than jumping in your face, although sometimes that happens too. The sanity system adds a nice tough and fits with the Lovecraftian thing.
A very good FPS exploration game. Graphics are not amazing, but good enough. The level design is good. Two minor gripes, but to be clear I really like this game. Cons: The underwater diving suit parts are slow and boring. Not a lot of those, but a drag when you have to do them. Getting item and action icons to pop up sometimes requires you to be positioned perfectly. Mildly annoying at times.
A perfect blend of just enough action and just enough horror to make you feel powerful in one minute, and completely vulnerable in the next. Especially when giant tentacles, hungry slugs and muscled creatures start jumping at you. It's a fun and challenging game that feels like a homage to some older titles.
A Lovecraftian survival horror where resources are lacking and everything wants you dead. You go through abandoned research stations, fight all kinds of creatures and soldiers, while trying to save someone close. The atmosphere is thick and oppressive, sanity mechanics add to the dread, and the old-school shooting feels satisfying when you manage your limited ammo right. Sometimes stressful in a good way.

Несмотря на то, что в игре есть вещи к которым можно придраться (источники звука порой не там, где нужно, анимация моделей хромает и тд.), но все же, с учетом того, что игру делали 2 человека - она сделана нормально. Тем более на неё всегда есть нормальные скидки, так что пройти стоит, особенно если играть не во что.
