Embark on a Descent into Darkness: 'The Descent' Launches on Steam. Unravel Mysteries, Confront Horrors, and Navigate the Treacherous Mines!"

Hey there. I just wanted to share with you that my new game The Descent has launched on Steam!

Thank you very much to the beta testers who have made this game even better with their assistance; your names are included in the credits. We look forward to receiving your feedback, so please share it with us. If you encounter any issues, kindly inform us in the forums, and we will promptly address any bugs or suggestions you might have. We hope you thoroughly enjoy the horror experience in The Descent.

THE DESCENT
Experience 'The Descent,' a first-person psychological horror walking sim, set in the late 19th century in the coal mining town of Rockwell Mine. Immerse yourself in the grueling lives of miners and their unsettling encounters deep within the treacherous mines. Assume the role of an investigator who returns to their hometown after law school to unveil its mysteries.

Rockwell Mine has been plagued by numerous accidents, disappearances, and unexplained deaths, leaving authorities baffled. Despite countless investigations, the truth remains elusive, leading to the closure of the mine to the public.

As a player, you must navigate the perilous mine, document your investigation with a camera, solve the mysteries behind the disappearances, and overcome obstacles while evading the dangers lurking within."
