What you need to know:
- NTENSE Co., Ltd. officially announces UNDERWARD, a cooperative exploration horror game in which players recover “test subjects” from a procedurally generated underground abandoned hospital. The game’s Steam store page is now online.
- The product is expected to be released in 2024 and is planned to be priced at $7.99.
- UNDERWARD is a cooperative exploration horror game for 1 to 4 players. The player plays the role of an investigator and must follow orders to find various “test objects” (in culture capsules), transport them to the elevator, and reach the recovery indicator before entering the next level. The game has a permanent death system.
- The game also includes a “linked carry” system that allows players to transport “test subjects” together at high speeds. UNDERWARD has a heavy emphasis on cooperative gameplay and is recommended for players who want to experience the thrill of a horror game while scaring themselves together as a team.
Various “test subjects”:
There are many types of Test Topics available for recovery, and collecting more unique and valuable Test Topics will earn you higher scores.
Wandering Nurses, Traps, and Other Hazards:
As you explore each level, you’ll encounter various dangers. Use the items you find to rescue your teammates and overcome these challenges together.
“Connect and carry” system:
Up to four players can carry “test subjects” together. By using the “Connected Transport” system, it is possible to outrun enemies even when transporting heavy “Test Subjects”. However, poor coordination can result in a one-way ticket to the afterlife.
For more details, check out the store page. If you’re interested, be sure to add UNDERWARD to your wish list!
