Cool story based game with simple controls, so anyone can play. You are in a underground complex with five other strangers and need to keep the 'machine' going, but you've not been told why. Complete simple daily tasks while taking in the story and waiting until its your turn to operate the machine again... Lots of mini-games, surprises and easter eggs to be found too. Good retro-style fun!
i didn't want it to end. if this looks interesting, go ahead and buy it. the characters felt very real, and i pushed through the chores just so i could interact with them more. the game is also very good at being unnerving despite nothing really happening. very interested in any future work by this dev.

After playing the brilliant "Type Help" browser game by William Rous I searched for other work. "Finished the game"...to be honest a bit confused at the end about the why, but the game does set the right vibes for being stuck in a cellar with 5 strangers :) doing menial tasks. I still wonder if scrubbing that oven was worth my while :D. Definitely will keep my eye out for what comes next from this developer as he seems full of original ideas !
This is a damn good game. My eyes and ears hurt and I'm sick of chores. 10/10 cant wait for what they do next
Thanks to this game I know I'm apt for assembly line work
Really enjoying it. Eerie atmosphere.
One of the best games I've played in a long while. Everything in Cellar is so precise. The long pauses between each line of dialogue, the different points at which characters choose to reveal (or not reveal) more about their lives outside, everything is tuned to create the sort of tension between paranoia and trust that can quickly develop in isolation. Fair warning, its a game at least partially about mundanity and the psychological effect it can have on people, so go into this expecting less fun mystery like Type Help and more of a purposefully drab experience like a SOMA or Pathologic. I used to work in a packing barn in the middle of nowhere for one month out of the year, and this game really captured that sense of repetition rotting your brain along with quickly becoming very close friends with people I'd probably never talk to normally. A great reflection on torturous isolation can be, and how even a bunch of strangers can be enough to get us though it. This having 6 reviews on Steam is a crime. It's literally free, try it out y'all.
