About This Game

It was supposed to be like any other stroll through the woods.

You didn't intend to be here. But you are, trapped in a cavernous labyrinth with only a torch and your instincts to escape. You hear a noise.

"What's that?"

You realize you are not alone. How will you escape this place alive?

Explore the Catacombs

This enormous place doesn't seem right. With each exploration a new catacomb is generated. Go through many floors of the dungeon, descending into darkness while searching for a way out.

Manage your resources

Your chances of survival once your torch extinguishes are dire. There may be some braziers for you to light, but your main source of light is in your hands. Do not let it die

Learn the truth about the Catacombs

There is a story to this place. What has happened here might give you tips on how to escape.

Or do they only foretell your doom?

Detailed Features and Content

• Afterlight Catacombs is a first-person adventure-horror-survival game featuring procedural level generation, inventory management, and maze navigation.

• In the experience, you will start in a dark catacomb. Find a torch to light the way, and encounter a mysterious creature. Do not let it see you! It’s very dangerous and is “moderately to extremely” violent up close.

• Use chalk to mark your path so you don’t get lost in the maze. You can keep chalk in your inventory. Afterlight Catacombs features a slot-based inventory system that provides room for different sized items. Inventory items include the torch; chalk; bandages; oil flasks; and a slot for up to one key at a time. There are three collectable “lore” items as well that will unlock Steam Achievements.

• In each level, manage your inventory, avoid the snuffer, and then navigate your way until you find the skull gate. It’s very large, you will know when you find it! Some gates require a key to open; others will open when you throw a lever hidden somewhere in the level.

• To complete the game, solve all five mazes without being caught by the snuffer. The catacombs are magic and each time you play, the maze will be different. No two playthroughs will be the same!

• After completing the fifth level, you will be very close to escaping the catacombs. But beware! You must confront the snuffer and defeat it in a close encounter to regain your freedom!
