From the developers:
“We grew up playing games like F.E.A.R. on the PS3,” said Bruno and Ricardo Cesteiro, the brotherly duo behind studio Camel 101. “That blend of tight gunplay and supernatural suspense made a huge impact on us. With Beneath, we wanted to create a full-length, narrative-first game that recaptures that feeling — no online mode, no microtransactions. Just you, your instincts, and a lot of ammo.”
