Celeritas Games has announced the release of its “horror walking sim” The Descent is now available for PC via Steam. Players with a bent for claustrophobic horror games set in abandoned mines should be thrilled with the action in locations as dark as, well, an abandoned mine. Players are put in the shoes of a local investigator uncovering a “hometown mystery.”
Developers have released a brand new trailer to showcase just how dark an abandoned mine can be. Add in a few well-placed jump scares in the pitch black, and it’s the perfect setting for people who love that sort of thing.
Features include
- Walking Simulator: Experience ‘The Descent,’ a first-person psychological horror walking sim, set in the late 19th century in the coal mining town of Rockwell Mine.
