The Chase Beneath

For the theme "Depths" I went with a Horror Adventure game set in the sewers.

Art and sound is from assets, credit given on the credit screen

> Something chased you through town that night.
>
> You tripped and fell. Now you've woken up in the depths of the sewer system.
> You did you best to get out...

Find your way through the maze of sewers and avoid the hazards. Puzzle your way out (if that's even possible)!

Controles:

- Movement is with the WASD keys
- Jump with SPACEBAR
- Mouse to look around
- Press F to interact

TIP

The first key is always near the first door

I wanted to return the favor by also playing your game. If I knew it was a horror game, I probably wouldn’t have submitted my own! But anyway, I manned up and gave it a go. Really good atmosphere, even though I’m usually not a fan of this kind of mood, it actually felt really fitting here. Well done!

I liked the horror! I have found a way to speed up traffic while moving on the edge of the sidewalk)

I think as others have said the atmosphere is good, sadly I didn't actually enjoy playing it. Walking down the long corridors gradually became more tedious than scary.

I love me a horror jam game! This was moody, the constantly lurking monster made me anticipate a jumpscare the whole game lol. The low poly style fits well. My only complain is that there are areas where you have to walk for a while without anything happening which help build anticipation but can get repetitive. Overall this was fun!

I'm not usually a horror guy, but I liked this one. I think the monster's sounds should be less common. I really liked the sounds of a looming threat in the beginning, but after a few minutes I just kind of tuned the monster out. The visual appearances of it were great, though, making me do a double take or two. Maybe make the footsteps quieter as well.
