Descending is a well crafted experimental horror game where you’re sent down to operate and maintain drills at the bottom of a deep pit.
In Descending you are a new recruit who’s been tasked with running two large mining drills as they dig ever-deeper in a giant pit. Your rotation will last for ten days and you have rudimentary accommodation down there to sleep in between shifts.
The machinery is a little complicated, but you’re given clear instructions from your bosses via a one-way fax machine each day. These notes will come in handy (in more ways than one) and if you look around you may find some others scattered around too…
Taking around an hour to play through, it’s a superb bit of industrial horror with a tense atmosphere, fun machinery-operation gameplay and an incredible ending. You’re definitely not getting paid enough for this job. Highly recommended.
