About this project

What does Born Below add?

Survive as a mole. Fear the light. Embrace the darkness.

You have lived beneath the earth for so long that your body has adapted to life underground. The sunlight you once knew now burns your skin, forcing you to seek shelter beneath stone, trees, wear a protective helmet, or travel under the cover of night.

Your journey begins in a small underground shelter with only a few supplies and a journal left behind by another survivor.

Features

  • ☀️ Sunlight damages you while exposed.
  • 🌧️ Rain and thunderstorms provide temporary safety.
  • 🌳 Trees and other shade protect you from the sun.
  • 🪖 Helmets protect you from direct sunlight.
  • 🌙 Travel at night when it is safe.
  • 🕳️ Begin your adventure in an underground shelter.
  • 📖 Discover a journal explaining your mysterious past.
  • 👁️ See clearly underground with permanent Night Vision.
  • ⛏️ Mine faster underground with a permanent Haste effect.
