Below: Solo Dev Releases Found Footage Horror Game

A solo game developer has announced the release of Below, a found footage horror game that takes players on a thrilling adventure through the Great Pyramids of Egypt. Inspired by the adrenaline-fueled chases of Outlast, Below promises a unique experience that focuses on high-speed survival rather than combat or hiding.

Players take on the role of Alex Levine, a freelance reporter who has gone missing while investigating a story. With no ability to fight back, the only option is to run for your life from the clutches of mummies and the manifestations of Anubis, all while navigating the ancient pyramids to find a way out. The game features a raw, VHS-styled found footage aesthetic and photorealistic visuals, which the developer has worked hard to optimize for seamless performance.

The game's developer, who has spent 13 months building Below, is excited to bring this project to players, hoping to offer a fresh take on the horror genre beyond the typical ghost and haunted house settings. Below is now available on Steam with a 15% discount for launch week, inviting players to experience the thrill of survival in one of the world's most mysterious and ancient locations.

As the game launches, the developer poses an intriguing question to potential players: would you, like Alex, risk everything to uncover a story that could lead to fame and fortune, or would the danger be too great to ignore? With Below now available, players can dive into this intense horror experience and decide for themselves.
