About this game
Underneath is a story about loss, desperation, and survival. Emma Warren, a mother, has lost her children due to the loss of her farm and is determined to get back to them, at any cost. Emma's story is one of many choices-- with both Emma's and her children's lives on the line, how far will you go to ensure that they are reunited?
A shore-side city, Turnip City is situated upon a series of hills known as The Rolling Hills. It has, over the past few centuries, developed into a vast, bustling metropolis. It is known for its long, sunny beaches, tall, imposing skyscrapers, and, just beyond the city’s limits, sprawling crop fields and farmsteads.
For the past few decades, life has been good for the people of Turnip City. However, the recent closure of The Rolling Hill Mines has resulted in an economic collapse that has left a large percentage of the population jobless and homeless.
With nowhere else to lay their heads, those without work find themselves in The Subways; The ancient, massive tunnels once used in Turnip City's mining operations. Here, the laws of the surface are all but forgotten and crime is a daily occurrence. Those who wish to survive in The Subways must be quick and clever--or join in on the rampant looting.
As Emma Warren, you are one of the unfortunate citizens who happened to be affected by the economic collapse. How do you plan on surviving in The Subways?
Throughout the game, Emma will meet with several characters who will offer choices that will affect the course of the game. Your actions and choices will affect the Morality System, which determines how lawless(or altruistic!) Emma will be during her time in The Subways and how the game will draw to it's conclusion.
To survive and continue your story in Underneath, you must ensure that you have enough money to feed yourself every night. However, money is never guaranteed, so you may find yourself having to make difficult sacrifices or choices to survive. How long can you survive for?

We're Launching 🏯 Samurai Standoff
A New Blade Enters the Arena ⚔️After months of planning, prototyping, and soul-searching, we’re proud to unveil our next project:This game is a love letter to the flash-era mini-games we grew up with; fast-paced, reflex-driven duels where timing is everything.You’ll fight as one of six unique warriors, each with their own story, style, and reason for stepping into the fray. From Bluetail, the lizard samurai captain of the Royal Guard, to Ichi, the elusive fox assassin of the Kitsune Clan, every character brings something different to the battlefield. Whether you’re climbing the ranks in solo campaigns or testing your reflexes in multiplayer, every fight is a test of precision and nerve.We’re building Samurai Standoff as a compact, focused experience; something we can finish and release while continuing work on UNDERNEATH. It’s part of our plan to self-fund the studio and keep growing sustainably. So if you’re into cinematic sword fights, animal warriors with layered backstories, and a dash of retro flair, check out the new page for Samurai Standoff. Hit that Wishlist button, and stay tuned for more updates soon.Thanks for walking this path with us 🐾Read full article on Community Announcements (DarthBlechman)AnnouncementsOfficial
WOW~!🦝150 wishlists~! 🚀
Hey everyone 👋It’s been a whole year since we decided to keep working on this little game-jam project from last November. Back then, it was just a scrappy idea with potential, but something about it stuck with us. We kept building, experimenting, and learning. And now, we’re excited to share a new chapter in that journey. Since launching the Steam page for UNDERNEATH, we’ve crossed 150 wishlists, which is wild to us. Thank you also to everyone who’s shown interest in our Instagram, shared the news around, or just clicked that little Follow flag. It means a lot. For other news; Around July, we took a hard look at our goals and decided to pivot. We started working on a new game; something smaller in scope, something we could realistically finish and use to self-fund the studio. That shift wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. We’re building this studio from the ground up, and we want to do it sustainably.UNDERNEATH is still very much alive. It’s a bigger project, and it’s going to take time. But we’re committed to it. We’re also committed to keeping it free-to-play because we believe in what it can be and how it can grow with the community.There’s more to come soon. If you haven’t already, hit that Follow button on the store page so you don’t miss future updates. We’ve got some cool stuff in the works, and we can’t wait to share it with you.Thanks for being part of this journey 💛Read full article on Community Announcements (DarthBlechman)
