—The well has gone dry. It's up to you to find out why. Traverse through abandoned tunnels. Discover remnants of a ritual never meant to be seen. Power dying machinery to bring light into darkness. Dig into broken earth and crawl your way out. Down here you’re not exploring... you're trespassing.
THE WELL IS NOT EMPTY
SteamYou all heard it last night, something is moving down there. We can't just ignore it. Our water is almost gone and it's up to you to find out why! Tie the rope around you and climb down there... Let us know what you see.

An abandoned construction site for a prison? Where is everybody?

Destroy all the rubble in your way and find the truth!

Use the backup hand-crank generator to bring light into the rooms! This should buy you enough time to run past before they get you.
Hide from horrors beyond comprehension. If they see you... run! You cannot fight back.
