Wake up in a dark basement as a victim with no memory of your past. Can you uncover your true identity and solve the mystery of your past by collecting the cryptic notes left by your captor? Face the brutal truths and find a way to escape this nightmare alive.
The Confined: Basement
SteamWhen you open your eyes, you remember neither your name nor how you got here. There is only one thing you know: this is a cold, eerie, and dark basement where every corner is shaped by agony. The smell of rust and blood in the air is the only remaining evidence of the horrific tortures you endured. Your mind has completely shut itself down to block out the trauma you experienced.

Escaping this basement won't be easy. To unlock the doors, activate rusty mechanisms, and survive, you must interact with every object around you and push through the escape routes. But beware; every step you take, every sound you make, draws his attention.

In this claustrophobic survival horror game, players must survive the deadly traps set by the psychopath who kidnapped them and find a way out of this underground dungeon. Escaping from here will not be easy; you must interact with every object around you to unlock doors and activate rusty mechanisms, and crawl through narrow ventilation shafts in search of an exit.

Fear not only the darkness, but also the mind games your own sanity plays on you, and face that unknown monstrosity that could appear behind you at any moment.
Piece together who you are and the dark secrets of your past by finding cryptic notes and clues scattered around.
Increase your chances of survival by solving complex mechanisms, lightbulbs, and buttons in the torture rooms with the right logic.
Feel the suffocating despair of the basement to your very bones with narrow ventilation shafts, rusty doors, and dim lighting.
