*****


Dweller is a first-person psychological-survival horror experience set in the decaying sewer systems beneath an abandoned city.

Descend into the forgotten depths of Kelmar City. You are the newest recruit of the City Maintenance Division, sent into the sealed tunnels beneath Level D, a decommissioned sector shut down decades ago after a catastrophic flood.

Armed only with a dim headlamp and a radio, you enter alone. There are no maps, no backup, and no clear answers. The tools you need lie somewhere in the darkness, if you can find them.

As you navigate rusted corridors and flooded chambers, it becomes clear these tunnels hold more than abandoned infrastructure. 

A voice crackles through your radio, watching and guiding you while hiding true intentions. They know your name and your location, but they are not here to help you.

Now there's no way back. Only down.

Features

A Claustrophobic Underground World

  • Explore an interconnected sewer system filled with sewage, hidden passageways, and environmental storytelling that reveals the city’s buried secrets.

Radio-Driven Narrative

  • Communicate with your handler via radio. Your choices in conversations and how you respond unlock different story paths and different endings.

Enemies That Hunt You

  • Something stalks the tunnels. Evade it, hide from it, or fight back with improvised weapons. Every noise could be your last.

Immersive Psychological Horror

  • No cheap jump scares, just relentless dread and deadly encounters. The deeper you go, the more your senses fail, your gear falters, your mind fractures… and terrifying enemies close in. Survival is a constant, desperate struggle.

For being a demo, this was quite solid so far! Scary game for sure which had my heart going and me on my toes throughout the whole game trying to avoid the monster or expecting something to jump out. Cannot wait for the full release! Made a video on it.

Glad you enjoyed it :) Will make Keys a separate slot, so you can more easily get out that radio - seeing as you didn't like it & tbh makes sense :) Also, the heartbeat is from low health; however, I like the idea of it beating when an enemy is near, will prob make it a feature!

Nice Spooky Atmosphere. Love the monster, don't understand why none of my colleagues wanted to tell me something was down there before i went down the but never the less i had fun. Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing ! :)

 

Thanks a lot :) Glad you enjoyed! And why does everyone seem to be killing the poor worker & stealing his stick :(

What a trip! Terrifying, creepy and legit intense - solid work! 

I loved the demo. It showcased exactly what I wanted - thrills, snippets of story, the monster and simple mechanics - bravo! Great job on the sound design as well as environment creation. I wish listed the game and hope it will deliver the goods. Awesome! 

Best of luck with this and future projects! 

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it & thanks for wishlisting <3 I think there is more room for improvement with atmosphere & the enemy, but I had to get a demo out there for some initial feedback :)
