About This Demo

Down Below casts you into an afterlife where myth, religion, and legend overlap. You are a lone traveler racing for the fabled city of Agoralopis while the creeping force called the Oblivion chases your every step.

Chapter One (free demo) introduces the world, its first cast of characters, and the series' core challenge: explore, talk to inhabitants, and survive sudden arena confrontations. Exploration and dialogue reveal layered lore and shape how NPCs respond to you; combat switches to high-intensity top-down arenas where you must survive escalating waves and face a brutal boss.

KEY FEATURES

• Narrative first - dense, text-based dialogue and character interactions that influence relationships and discoverable lore.

• Hybrid gameplay - top-down pixel exploration paired with sudden arena shooter encounters and boss battles.

• Compact demo experience - Chapter One plays for about 45-60 minutes when fully explored and is free to try.

• Full release plans - retail price expected at $9.99; target window 2026-2027 with additional platforms and controller support.

CONTENT & ACCESSIBILITY

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

Developed by a solo creator releasing as ThePingoose. After several years working in Unreal Engine 5, the project was reimagined in GDevelop to focus on a compact, story-driven pixel experience.
