UNDERWARD: Supporter Edition (v1.2.0.1)

UNDERWARD is a tense co-op horror exploration game set within the eerie, labyrinthine depths of an abandoned underground hospital ward. Designed for one to four players, the game challenges investigators to navigate randomly generated floors filled with deadly traps, hostile creatures, and unsettling environments that gradually stray from the familiar hospital setting. The main objective revolves around locating and transporting capsules containing mysterious “TEST-SUBJECT” monsters to an elevator for extraction. This task is complicated by the noisy and cumbersome nature of carrying these capsules, which attracts relentless enemies, forcing players to rely on stealth, teamwork, and careful planning to survive. A unique “Connected Carry” system enables multiple players to move the heavy capsules more efficiently, emphasizing cooperative strategy and communication, while proximity-based voice chat enhances the immersive experience. For those who prefer solo play, UNDERWARD offers an ultra-challenging stealth mode where getting caught results in instant failure, making patience and trial-and-error essential. The solo experience demands heightened caution, as players cannot chain carries and must carefully balance risk and reward while exploring. The game also features a Supply Machine system that allows players to exchange rewards for randomized items, some of which can be carried over to subsequent floors, aiding in progression. Each floor grows more dangerous, populated by seductive yet deadly nurse monsters and vicious hunters that escalate the tension. With customizable rules like respawns and time limits, UNDERWARD caters to different playstyles, inviting players to test how far they can descend into this haunting underground world.
