About Despair
Wake up in an abandoned subway tunnel with nothing but a dying flashlight and fragmented notes from missing passengers, exploring the creeping darkness to uncover what happened to everyone—including yourself. This indie horror game combines resource scarcity and environmental storytelling as you piece together a mystery that may have no answers at all.
The main character wakes up in a tunnel of the subway and tries to find out that happened to it and other passengers of the train. To understand that after all it happened to the gone passengers, the player should investigate strange catacombs being deeply underground.
At himself the player has only a small lamp batteries to which very quickly come to an end.
As the player has to collect notes left other people to understand that happened.
Purpose:
Wandering about subway tunnels the player has to find all notes the subway scattered in frightening catacombs and try that after all it happened to passengers and to him...
And can be anybody the answer and isn't present...

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Despair is a survival horror game with an intriguing premise about investigating a subway disaster, but players overwhelmingly report serious technical problems including glitches, clipping through level geometry, broken mechanics like the flashlight system, and key binding issues that make it difficult to play. While some appreciate the atmosphere and story concept, the majority of reviewers found the experience marred by bugs and lack of genuine scares, with many strongly advising against purchasing the game.
Alt F4 is the best key for this "game".8 found this helpful
This intense survival horror experience immerses you in heart-pounding scares and strategic escapes 👻! Gripping story, stunning atmosphere, and thrilling challenges make every moment unforgettable. A must-play for horror fans!2 found this helpful
It's a good game that I enjoyed but then after a while I didn't because of the erronous gameplay mechanics
Despair is what you will feel after playing this game. Lots of glitches, barely any scares, and I had to replay the game two times because the flashlight system broke the first time while I ended up clipping out of bounds the second time. If you want a horror game with an interesting story about a main character investigating what happened to a subway and its passengers, this isn't it.
I would just like to save everyone some time with their life and don't buy this game. I completed this game and felt like my whole life was a failure, wouldnt wish this upon my worst enemy, and I would rather severely injure then to complete this game a second time, 0/10 wouldnt recomend
Played for 20 minutes on Steam Deck as part of a project to skim across my backlog. Had to manually bind keys like Shift and B. This is a very rudimentary Unity prototype with, as far as I played, no interesting ideas. Will not finish.
