Tentang Demo Ini

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.
