There is a lot to like about this game in its current state, but it could use a some polishing. I can't help but compare it to Barotrauma, which shares a publisher and game engine. They both have an eerie sci-fi aesthetic, but the gameplay in Hidden Deep is more slowed-paced, with a few frenzied moments when you stumble into a new area. Cool gadgets like scanners and drones help you navigate through the winding tubes and narrow corridors. Level design creates an interesting puzzle element to completing each mission, but some levels feel overly cryptic to solve. I found myself often having to backtrack several times before realizing there's a barely visible spot suitable for a zip-line that I had missed. The mouse aiming is surprisingly tight, with a bit of sway for a realistic feel. Switching characters on the map is fairly seamless. Some of the controls are a little clunky at times, specifically related to placing/using rope. The placement zone for rope seems to be just a few pixels wide. Returning to old ropes I found that I often could not climb all the way back up over a ledge I had earlier descended. And the fall damage is rough. At least 80% of my deaths are fall related. Enemies are creepy and cool, but the variety of enemies is lacking. Generally they don't pose that much of a threat. There is more than enough ammo to clear out each level. I would like to see new and tougher enemies in the later missions. The bones are here for a really good game. I'm impressed with the design work of a single person developer and glad to see that multiplayer is being implemented. I'll likely be returning to this one after future updates.

This is a great game. Developer knows what kind of experience he is trying to build, not jumping into a rot pit of trying to please the vocal masses who want a different game. Yes, some could say this game is simple. Too simple, that is. But this isnt an action packed survival horde shooter, its a horror. A very very atmospheric horror game. No, you won't get jumpscared by some weird shit jumping onto your screen, you will be taking in the grim surroundings, amazing sound design, and what little details the game allows in its style. There are enough missions already created currently, and what part of the campaign is brewing, is put together surprisingly well. You are here not to figure out what happened in details or to commit scorched earth warfare, you're here to scavenge the scraps, get the data, fix something, save someone, and blow this cave a new one. If some spooky flesh monsters happen to be in your way, well, your boss didn't send you down here unarmed for a reason. But your greatest enemy is yourself. Carelessness kills. Miscalculated rope swing across the pit will smack you face first into a rock. Lingering around armed explosives will breach your face alongside the cave-in. And of course, rushing through a cave only to find next chamber to be full of horrors beyond your comprehension. This isn't an action packed survival game, this isn't a grotesque horror with jumpscares, this is a game that wants you to appreciate the atmosphere, ask questions, and solve yet another problem in your way, like a puzzle. And Im glad developer understands what he is creating. Playing this game is like watching a slowburn horror movie. And that guy right here on your screen has all the red flags to be the first victim. Question is, how long is it gonna take you to screw up and die in the most anticlimactic way possible? The updates are slow, but cut this man some slack, he alone is building an entire game from the ground up, while focusing even on tiny details that mean the difference between an enjoyable experience and something that annoys you every 5 seconds. You literally cannot press a "wrong" button to catch a rope or an edge of a cliff midair in panic, for example. Because both climbing and jumping buttons work the same in this instance. I will try to be fair to the people who aren't fascinated by an idea of dwellng caves with a rope and a glock to some spooky music and hyperrealistic sound accompanement. The pricetag is... stingy. Especially in eastern european regions. You would expect the game to give you hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of entertainment and fun for a price like this. But this game is getting put on sale reasonably often, bringing the pricetag down to a commendable number. Conclusion? It's an amazing game for those who want to feel the atmosphere and become part of it. And dear developer, if you happen to read this, please know you are creating something truly unique. This comes with a price, this isn't a game for everyone, but thank you for creating something about what I can honestly say "Yep, don't know another game to scratch that itch and I like it".

You basically cannot get enough of this game. But more content , more mechanics and more monsters could improve this game very well. I recommend to anyone that wants a solo experience.

Single dev game. Dev actively listens to feedback and is constantly adding new content. After yes only 38 hours in the game, I find myself coming back and wanting to explore the depths again and again. Challenging logic puzzles, spot on with immersion and a roguelite in the early fazes. Brotha, you get a chef's kiss! ps. [Keep at it my guy, achieve your dream] [Roguelite game mode is F%&**%G FIRE!!!! Ive beaten it twice so far, I.. Want... MORE!!!! take your time though.]
