Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“It will be absolutely amazing when the community actively engages in the development of the second part of the game's story. We hold the theory that the more perspectives, the better the outcome, and therefore, we believe that together we will create a better product than if it were developed within our small circle of people. On Discord, we have created a server where they can share their insights, and we will be adding the progress we have achieved.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We just need to write the story for chapter 2, integrate it into the world of the game The Shaft, and hire voice actors who will bring the characters to life. Voice actors are currently our biggest challenge due to very time consuming process.

We can only make a guess about the specific time, but it should be within the second half of the year from the release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Later release we plan to implement:
- CHAPTER 2 of the story
- 5 new WEAPONS
- main and side QUESTS
- OPEN WORLD in a closed space”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, the game features 4 weapons that can be upgraded, randomly generated caves, a trading system, ore mining, treasure exploration, and a variety of enemies. But most importantly, the game includes the first part of the story that gradually reveals information about the main character and his world.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“YES
Early Access is 40% cheaper”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I appreciate bugs finding in the game that may have escaped us, and we have no problem adjusting the game mechanics to some extent according to the players' preferences :)

You can report errors to us on our Discord or email.”

About This Game

MINE - KILL - SURVIVE
Resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and the federation is utilizing all sources to obtain them. Prisoners are a great source of cheap labor that needs to be utilized. Can you survive in the dark caves, withstand radiation, and the challenges they conceal? Uncover the entire story of the underground world, but most importantly, survive. Those caves were sealed for a good reason.

Gameplay
The Shaft is a story-driven horror shooter set in dark caves. It combines resource mining, exploring randomly generated underground areas, buying new equipment, and upgrading weapons. Throughout the game, the story unfolds, and the difficulty increases. You need to be very quiet because noise attracts unwanted attention.

The generated caves are like a maze where it's easy to get lost. It is crucial to use a limited-length rope for navigation, but the caves hide a wealth of treasures that must be obtained.

Monsters
Most underground monsters are sensitive to noise. Some are primitive, while others show a slight hint of intelligence. Each monster has specific behavior, and you need to be prepared for various attacks that can cause minor or even fatal injuries.

Weapons
Each weapon has its advantages and disadvantages. Some are quiet, some are precise, while others have explosive rounds. Each is suitable for something different. Every weapon can be upgraded, and some can have special attachments. However, it's not wise to rely on just one weapon because when ammunition runs out, you need to know how to use them all.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains brutality, blood, and killing with realistic models and sounds. In short, it's a brutal shooter; don't expect to find flowers and pink unicorns in it.
