About This Game

Underside: The Lift - A single-player horror roguelike with survival elements.

Try to survive in a house where every apartment could be your last.

You find yourself in a familiar yet distorted place,

as if you’ve entered its darker reflection.

As if you’ve stepped into the Underside.

The silence is suffocating. There’s something behind every door.

Unfamiliar sounds echo like whispers in the dark — unsettling and real.

All you have is an old pipe and a lighter.

Try different weapons. Search for notes. Study your enemies.

Each monster has its own weaknesses.

No direct hints. Only observation and experience.

One life. One chance.

Die and start over.

Every run is a new house.

New layout, new monsters, new challenges.

Remember: nothing ever repeats here.

The lift is the only place where you can catch your breath,

sort your supplies, and prepare for the next encounter.

This is where the journey begins.

This is where you return. If you're lucky.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some elements of Underside: The Lift were partially created using generative artificial intelligence tools:

Several environment artworks and the project logo were generated with the help of AI tools and later refined manually.

A portion of the in-game notes and lore texts were drafted with the help of AI and then edited by the developer.

The game's Steam store page and marketing materials do not include AI-generated content. Only minor editorial assistance from AI was used when writing the store description.

There is no generative AI operating in real time within the game itself.
