Evaluation

Beneath launched on October 27, 2025 as a story-driven single-player survival FPS. Two days after launch, the developers signaled ongoing support, and on November 25, 2025, they published a formal roadmap outlining free post-launch updates: Retro Mode, New Game Plus, cheats, and a horde mode. The developers have delivered on that roadmap consistently. Retro Mode launched on December 18, 2025, and the December post reaffirmed that New Game Plus and cheats were still coming in 2026. The Final Stand horde mode shipped as a free update on May 15, 2026, completing another roadmap item. Most recently, on September 30, 2026, the developers announced another incoming update targeting performance improvements, visual effect fixes, weapon box adjustments, and a new option to skip the prologue. They described it as currently in development, with a firm date to follow "within the next couple of weeks." This is the most recent developer communication, confirming the team is still actively working on the game just one day before today's date. Two roadmap items from December 2025 — New Game Plus and cheats — have not been mentioned as shipped in any subsequent post, meaning they remain outstanding commitments. The September 30, 2026 announcement adds yet another concrete update to the queue. The developers remain actively engaged and have a strong track record of delivering on announced content.

About this game

Beneath is a Lovecraft-inspired survival FPS from a micro studio founded by two brothers, with a lifelong passion in horror and shooters. Scarce ammo, merciless enemies and a sense of the unknown combine in a 10+ hour, story-driven single player campaign, built for both veteran gamers and those seeking a challenging old school experience. 

 

Seasoned diver Noah Quinn’s routine expedition plunges him into chaos, trapping him in the depths of the ocean, where an ancient evil lurks. As supplies dwindle and nightmarish creatures close in, Noah must confront horrifying mutations and unravel a sinister conspiracy that threatens humanity itself.  

 

With his daughter’s life hanging in the balance, Noah is pushed to his limits in a desperate race against time. Can he uncover the truth and stop an ancient horror from surfacing, or will the abyss consume them all?

Created by two passionate brothers, Beneath fuses Lovecraftian horror with an action movie narrative set deep in the arctic ocean. You will race against time to find a cure for your daughter, fighting for survival as you travel between a series of research stations and discover the dark intentions of the Omnium Corporation.

Face a terrifying array of foes, from ruthless soldiers to grotesque Lovecraftian monstrosities. With limited ammunition you must manage your supplies, upgrade your arsenal and make smart use of environmental hazards to survive.

Nightmares have awoken in the depths. With your sanity slipping, you become vulnerable to the twisted visions and Eldritch abominations that attack your body and mind.

  • Going Old School: Created as a love letter to the classics by a micro studio founded by two brothers with a lifelong passion for the genre. 

  • Fight for your life: Soldiers are hunting you with maximum aggression and unearthly horrors stalk your every move. 

  • Lock and Load: Use a variety of upgradable weaponry to survive close quarter fights in destructible environments. 

  • Sanity Under Siege: Keep your wits as you face nightmarish visions and creatures. 

  • Secrets of the Deep: Explore the remains of research stations, investigating emails, PDA’s and survivor accounts to unravel a dark conspiracy.
