Taking a look at Beneath, a new Steam horror game from developer Camel 101, feels like a checklist of some of the best shooters and survival experiences of the past 20 years. Amnesia lovecraftian monsters and depleting sanity bar, checked. Deceptive resource management and rewarding Resident Evil headshots, proven. There are even nods to Cold Fear, Ubisoft’s less-loved cult classic from 2005. And do I see a hint of classic FPS FEAR from Monolith? I think I can. If you’re expecting Amnesia The Bunker, or perhaps Resident Evil 4 Remake, Beneath, to borrow a bit of a meme-like phrase, it just might be “your jam.”
Set aboard a system of underwater science stations somewhere in the middle of the ocean, Beneath places you as experienced deep-sea diver Noah Quinn. With dwindling resources, a dwindling sense of sanity, and hordes of grotesque, tentacled monsters seeking your blood, you must shoot, sneak, hide, and survive as you try to figure out what on Earth — or rather, what on Earth. mar – he passes.
Weapons are customizable, the environment is highly destructible, and enemies will gradually adapt to your tactics and playstyle. In addition to shooting and killing, you’ll also have to watch your mindset: in the face of horrors unspeakable ocean waves, Noah could completely lose control if you’re not careful. Check out the first trailer, shared exclusively with – Game News, below:
He is also equipped with a scuba diving suit, which means he can leave the station to explore the ocean floor and access areas that would otherwise be off limits due to flooding.
With the pouring rain, broken emergency lights, and overwhelming sense of isolation, this personally reminds me of Cold Fear, Ubisoft’s carefully crafted shooter that sadly went under the radar (or should it be sonar? ) when it was released in 2005. the gruesome, fast-paced shooter definitely resembles FEAR, while the overall setting and focus on sanity seems to borrow from Resident Evil and Amnesia.
In short, Beneath feels like a combination of some of the best horror and FPS classics on PC. If you can list it now on Steam, with a release date tentatively set for 2024. If you like good horror and even better action, Beneath is definitely one to watch.
