About Subterraneus

Story:
Our story begins on an overpopulated planet, with limited resources but a striking technology. In this world, the authorities designed a perfect and inclusive garbage recycling system, allowing a limitless reuse of the resources.

We find our hero, Clodomir, at the collection center, throwing his household waste away. Without knowing why, he passes out and falls head first into the collection hole.

He will wake up on a gigantic garbage pile, in the middle of a cave, miles underground. Then, his sole purpose will be: to go back to the surface.

  • An “old school” Point&Click 2D adventure game inspired by the greatest licenses

✦ AI summary

Players praise Subterraneus as a charming, well-crafted point-and-click adventure with excellent quality-of-life features like instant text, smart action toggles, and efficient movement controls that set it apart from typical indie adventure games. The hand-drawn art, humor, music, and puzzles are generally well-received, with comparisons to classic adventure games like Deponia, though some feel the roughly 3-hour runtime is too brief and wish there was more lore and world-building to explore. Minor complaints include grammar issues and the need to repeatedly sweep screens for hotspots, but th

pretty good 3-hour cartoony point & click, expected worse. some humor and grammar issues with great quality of life features I'd like to see more often. instant text that can advance automatically or with a click, no gibberish or text display sound, smart actions toggle (if you can't talk to something, the mouth icon won't appear), exits marked differently and the character leaves the scene imeediately with double-click, which also speeds up movement in general. manual saving is not possible to revisit places or whatever but autosaves happen after every action. it's not a lazy mobile port, so mouseover shows hotspots and right-click acts as a dedicated hotspot indicator. however, it only shows objects around the cursor, so [b]sweeping every screen over and over is still necessary and a major annoyance[/b], bordering on being a dealbreaker because you're exploring an underground dump and the hundreds of items (one of the 'features') are literally littered everywhere. luckily, there's a reduced option for hotspots that ignores fluff items, so much so that it also makes them unclickable. not ideal and also buggy: there are a few items still highlighted in reduced mode that can't be …

I really enjoyed this game ,short and funny point and click adventure game. The 2d hand drawn art /animation, background music, story and writing, puzzles they were all well made. so many fun details to look at that clodomir will comment on. the music makes think of poki from deadalic games, actually the whole game kinda reminds me of deponia/edna in a good way. I'll be looking forward to any future games/sequels.

I really enjoyed it, it's a quick, simple point-and-click game. The humor is typical for those sorts of games. I really wish there was more lore, though. :( I got investigated, haha . What's above the surface? Why does no one else want to leave? Overall, a very fun experience; mushrooms were the most important characters. <3

Subterraneus developed by CrazyKraken and published by Plug In Digital is a classic-style point-and-click adventure that embraces the traditions of older puzzle-driven games while presenting a strange and humorous underground world. The game places players in a surreal environment hidden beneath the surface of a futuristic city, where discarded technology, unusual creatures, and mysterious machines create an ecosystem unlike anything found above ground. By combining exploration, environmental puzzles, and absurd humor, the game delivers an experience that feels like a modern tribute to the adventure games of the 1990s. The story begins in a highly advanced society where waste disposal has been solved through massive automated recycling pits scattered throughout the city. Citizens simply throw their trash into these enormous shafts, trusting that complex machines will recycle the waste into useful resources. The protagonist, a rather unlucky man named Clodomir, accidentally falls into one of these recycling holes and wakes up deep underground surrounded by mountains of discarded objects. With no clear path back to the surface, Clodomir must navigate the bizarre subterranean world w…
