Tiny creatures aren’t always cute and harmless.
*You wake up in a room you’ve never seen before. Cold, damp walls, the dim light from an old lamp, and the pervasive smell of mold and rot. Slowly, your mind starts to clear, and you realize — it’s a basement. The only way out is further down.*
*The stairs creak ominously beneath your weight, as if warning you to turn back. Yet, each step pulls you closer to the unknown, where the shadows seem to ripple with life. There’s something waiting down there — and it knows you’re coming.*
Hello, world! This is our third game jam and our first 3D game. Our small team tried to create the feeling of a one-way journey — into a cold and sticky abyss of despair.
The development wasn’t perfect, but in the end, we had fun — we hope you’ll have fun too!
Your feedback is important to us! We read every comment and carefully consider all your suggestions. They inspire us to keep improving and refining our skills. We hope that your contributions will help us become even better as game developers :)
*Don't worry if the game crashes after a red screen — that's intentional, we just haven't had time to create a proper death screen yet*
