About This Game
In Descending, you're assigned to the perilous depths of a vast, underground excavation site. Your role is to operate a critical drilling operation, navigating the treacherous environment while managing the flow of information through a mysterious, one-way fax machine. The machine, your sole lifeline to the surface, becomes your conduit to the world above, and a reminder of the harsh conditions that await you at the bottom of the pit.
As storms rage above and the pit's unstable infrastructure teeters on the brink of collapse, you must focus on completing your shift, a grueling 45-minute ordeal that demands your full attention. The clock ticks away, and with each passing minute, the pressure builds. Will you emerge victorious, or succumb to the unforgiving environment that surrounds you?
With each playthrough, the experience is a self-contained, high-stakes challenge that tests your ability to adapt and survive. Descending is an experimental, immersive game that strips away distractions, leaving you face-to-face with the raw, unrelenting force of the underground world. Can you overcome the odds and make it back to the surface?
