About This Game

An old tape replays your worst memory. Hoping to get rid of this memory once and for all, you go through it once more, you take control of this taped memory as it plays out. A camping trip, a fierce storm and your girlfriend vanishing near an abandoned mine. To follow her trail, you must scour the woods, gathering tools to breach the sealed entrance. But the mine is filled with unknown dangers and something seems to roams the dark. Can you survive the depths and find her, or will the memory never end?

In Buried Below, the experience starts with an interactive intro leading up to a camping trip gone wrong. During a storm, your girlfriend goes missing. Armed with key information previously provided by a clerk about a nearby abandoned mine, you venture out to explore the fast, free-roamable forest, needing maps for orientation. Gaining entry to the mine involves using items correctly to solve light environmental puzzles blocking your path.

Once inside, your survival depends on managing your lighter's fuel while navigating the tunnels. You'll need to use stealth, either hiding or creating distractions, to evade the creature that lurks below. Can you escape this desolate place, or will your memory never end? This is a compact, atmospheric survival horror experience.
