What is Subterrain?

Subterrain is a survival/adventure video game developed by Pixel Perfex and published by Iceberg Interactive in 2017. In Subterrain, the player takes on the role of a lone scavenger exploring a series of underground tunnels and caverns while trying to survive.

The player character needs to scavenge materials and tools to craft weapons, traps, and other helpful items. They also need to manage crucial resources like oxygen, light, hunger, and thirst to stay alive while navigating the dangerous subterranean environment.

The underground tunnels are filled with threats like strange creatures, deadly traps, rockfalls, flooding, and hazardous chemicals. The player must carefully manage their resources, light sources, and health while exploring in search of food, water, oxygen, and useful materials.

Subterrain incorporates elements of survival, crafting, exploration, and problem-solving games. There is an underlying story revealed as the player explores the caves and engages with the scavengers and creatures inhabiting the subterranean world.

Key features include crafting mechanics for creating improvised tools and weapons, survival simulation requiring management of resources like oxygen and light, procedurally-generated cave environments to explore, emergent gameplay responding to player choices, and a mix of stealth/evasion and action-focused confrontations.
