About This Game

The Descent VR is a psychological horror walking simulator set in the eerie coal mining town of Rockwell. Step into the boots of an investigative journalist returning to their hometown, determined to uncover the truth buried deep beneath the earth.

Once a thriving mine, Rockwell has become infamous for a string of accidents, disappearances, and unexplained deaths. The mine has long been sealed, the mysteries within left unresolved—until now.

Armed with a camera and your instincts, you must explore the abandoned tunnels, document your findings, and piece together the chilling history of what really happened.

But be warned—something still lingers in the dark.
