The Chalk
SteamIn "The Chalk," you'll descend into the depths of a treacherous and twisted mine that's said to be cursed by an otherworldly force. Inspired by a true story from the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1800s, "The Chalk" pits you and other players against each other in a battle for survival and wealth.
As you progress further trough the mine's four floors, you'll need to mark your path with chalk to track where you've been and need to go. With no map to guide you, you'll need to rely on your wits, instincts, and perhaps a bit of luck to make it out alive.

But you're not alone down there. The undead spirit of a man who sold his soul haunts the mine, protecting the precious metal at all costs. He'll hunt down the noisiest players and ensure they don't make it out with their ill-gotten treasure. As the mine floods behind you with each new level you reach, time is always running out.

Will you team up with other players and share the wealth, or will you betray them and take it all for yourself? In The Chalk, the choice is yours. But be warned. Trust is hard to come by in these dark and dangerous tunnels.

With stunning graphics and bone-chilling sound effects, The Chalk is a looting survival horror game like no other. Will you have what it takes to find your way out of the mine with your life and fortune intact? The only way to find out is to take the plunge and play The Chalk today.
