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!
