Subterrain (2016) PC

Subterrain is a survival video game that takes place in an underground city on Mars, known as MARS MPO, built to protect the arriving colonists from deadly radiation.

The game is developed by the independent studio PixelLor.

Description

The main character, Albert West, is a doctor working on an Alzheimer's vaccine in an underground city. Unfortunately, there was an accident in his laboratory, because of which he was convicted and sent to prison. The game takes place a year after the sentencing – when prison guards disappear in mysterious circumstances. West undertakes to solve this mystery, and it turns out that the colony has been gripped by a mysterious disease that turns people into bloodthirsty mutants, and we have to stop these terrifying events.

Gameplay

Due to the fact that the main character is the only survivor in the city, the main element of the game is the struggle for survival. The protagonist must not only take care of the extraction of food and water, but also constantly monitor the oxygen level and body temperature. In addition, fighting makes it more difficult to get injuries, such as fractures or severe wounds. To do this, it is necessary to take care of the reactor, which provides power to life support systems.

Exploration also plays an important role – individual locations are created procedurally, so the game has a non-linear course. When moving through the rooms of the colony, you need to remember that at any moment you can meet dangerous mutated creatures. Fortunately, Dr. West has firearms, as well as grenades and explosives. In addition, all of these killing tools can be modified.
