About Underground: Chapter 1

Underground is a first-person horror adventure where you wake up lost, with no memory of how you got here — and no idea where "home" is. As you explore a strange and seemingly abandoned subway system, you begin to uncover notes, clues, and puzzles that guide you from station to station.But you're not alone down there.Survive encounters with terrifying entities that stalk the tunnels. Make decisions that affect your survival, and solve increasingly complex puzzles that block your escape. Each station presents a unique challenge — from tracking down the right medication for a patient under time pressure, to escaping a deadly chase after choosing the wrong item.Key Features:
  • A story-driven single-player horror experience
  • Multiple underground stations, each with its own set of puzzles, atmosphere, and secrets
  • Checkpoints between stations so progress isn’t lost
  • A mix of stealth, puzzle-solving, and decision-based gameplay
  • Dynamic horror elements that react to your choices
  • Minimal UI for full immersion

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the game's core concept featuring an eerie SCP-like antagonist and note the developer's responsiveness to bugs, but the game suffers from significant technical issues including falling off maps without respawn mechanics, getting stuck on glitches, and unclear puzzle design that makes progression confusing. The oversized maps and lack of apparent playtesting have frustrated players, though some see potential in the foundation despite these execution problems.

There are bugs, but the developer does have a good concept here with the bad guy has a scp slenderman feel to it. I had a glitch where the chest was giving me coins over and over again which caused me to be stuck cause I could no longer interact with anything else. I also think a way to respawn if you fall of the map may help some people. I fell off in the train as well as in the woods and it just drops forever there are two items on the top of the shelves in the first puzzle both block like looking objects which makes it unclear which of those are the ticket. I think adding something to make that clearer may help the developer immediately fixed the issue within like 20 mins of me posting a video. they have a youtube page if you want to see some of the other games they worked on. storywise they are on track. I actually am curious to see what they have in the future. keep it up you got a subscribe out of me

The graphics are lackluster, the plot is unclear, and chapter two where you have to find the coins, the map is WAY TOO BIG. Plus you can fall off the map and have to restart from chapter one. Looks like this game wasn't even playtested. Rating: 1/10
