That was really really awesome! I loved the different types of monsters and how they played off each other, like how quicksand you needed to run over but the worm senses you running. I also liked how the flashlight was just a flash instead of being either constantly on or off. My favorite monster was the super bright and hot light monster. That one made sense right off the bat and I had a fun time dodging behind the pillars while running over the quick sand.
The quicksand was also pretty cool programmatically, I was surprised to see it create a hole beneath the player.

I loved the game's aesthetic!

I died so many times that I became paranoid, and I feel like my mental health has aligned with the player's mental health lol

I was doing very badly at first, but I eventually figured it out as I went along. Everything was very well thought out to allow the player to understand by himself.

Top-notch game design!

Well done on this great game.

Developer

Thank you - despite the fact that there was an indicator for all the events, the player did not quite understand how to play because it does not coincide with the usual gameplay in these genres.

Very cool environment and atmosphere, it felt like there was a lot of great polish. Walking through the dark and spamming flashlight reminded of my doing the same in lethal company lol. 

Developer

yes, i hugely inspired by zeekers artstyle too

What a cool environment. Once I understood that the enemies all function differently, the game really clicked with me. Honestly, I almost would've liked more enemies lol, but this was a good amount to keep the tension of the game. Very spooky, great enemy designs. What more can you ask for in a jam game :) Also, the first time the worm killed me it really spooked me, good job lol

Developer

thank you soo much

I really liked the aesthetic, it's straight from the late 90s.

I REALLY tried to go through with this game.

But that fucker that jumped from the roof after the tunnel to eat me ? 

I almost had a heart attack ;-;

Joking aside : the fondation of the game is great :D It's so cool that you got to make so many entities ! I would consider making a Windows build for better stability (WebGL is always a hassle between browers/computers), but apart from that I had a good time :)) !

Ahaahah thanks for playing! You can use flashlight to kill Drooly “fucker” ;D

Here hints about the enemies:

Worm — senses vibration, stalks your every step

Drooly — hangs from the ceiling, fears the light

Quicksand — slowly drags you into oblivion

Madness — your sanity fades with every step, stay in the light

This game visual is really well made. the environment model look simple but artistically good looking . the beginning remind me of Halo CE flood level and the end the big globe remind me of halo control room lol . lighting is really good and the little details like lens flare when you look at a bright  screen is just perfect. the big white lamp with with timing is really clever and really pretty . sound design on that lamp is some thing to fall in love for . just a extra idea, the flash mechanics would have been is really good idea for sudden jumps scare timed with a flash light. Game ran smooth for me but got bit laggy every time I flash the light but conserving it's a web version can't complain really. game is hard with out the instruction ( I had to you read your comment )  but fun once you figure out. I had blast but unfortunately game crash for me after showing the text "UNIT 733 - Terminated" on the big globe room. honestly I am looking for more of this  game. cheers !

Developer

Thank you for playing! Hahhaah ;D The core has erased you (lmao you complete the game!)

Submitted

That was the end? I just froze in one place after lagging ...thought it crashed lol

Developer(+1)

core just erase you and the game closes (you win ;D)

Developer(+1)

We are in a clone production lab. At the heart of the complex is the identity erasure machine “Core”, the lower we go, the less we become ourselves. The core finally erases us completely and we become part of the complex. The machine recognizes us. The question here is whether we have always been a Unit of the complex, or have become a new part of it.

Developer(+1)

Perhaps our hero returned to his native place, or completely lost himself.

I did my best to play it, but html5 games are always laggy for me so it was very difficult. seemed like a cool game though. I got up the stairs to some room where there was lightning strikes on the pillars, but couldnt find my way afterwards. heard a heartbeat get louder and it started me over but im not sure what happened lol!

Thanks for the game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Tested on a 1650 Super. I only see one freeze: I’ll fix this issue in today’s patch. This freeze occurs when I first turn on the flashlight. What GPU you using?

Submitted

3080ti and omg i just found it it's because my browser didn't have hardware acceleration turned on lol!!! im sorry man. i've never played html5 versions of games before so i didnt understand. i thought it was because 3d games couldnt run in browsers. i played about 4 in a row and they were all laggy.

my fault!!

Developer(+1)

wow! it’s really good to know, good research thank you!

BENEATH is a first-person horror game set in an abandoned underground complex. You’re a stranded wanderer. Below await monsters, madness, and a truth better left unknown.

Your ship crashes on a forgotten planet — in a place where perfect soldiers were once created. Now only darkness, monsters, and silence remain.

  • Explore grim tunnels and abandoned laboratories

  • Fight fear and your own sanity

  • Uncover the truth about Project “Legion”

  • Hide from creatures lurking in the dark

Enemies:

Worm — senses vibration, stalks your every step

Drooly — hangs from the ceiling, fears the light

Quicksand — slowly drags you into oblivion

Madness — your sanity fades with every step, stay in the light

Can you reach the Core? Or will you remain forever in BENEATH?

Controls:

WASD — move

Shift — sprint

LMB — flashlight flash
