The Thing Beneath - Director's Cut
The Thing Beneath » Devlog
We are proud to present our latest project, The Thing Below!
This project began at the Assembly Game Jam 2026, made in only 64 hours, and inspired by 80s horror clichés, as we decided to also join the Summer Camp Jam hosted by the Haunted PS1 community.
The game turned out too good to just launch without some extra love, so we have now expanded it over the course of one additional day to fix some issues, add quality of life improvements, and polish the endings!
And we once again collaborated with Reaktori (whom you may remember from the award winning Metal Man 3: Meat Man's Menace). As usual, he did some masterful work for the game, so make sure to give him a follow and check out his other projects!
We sincerely hope you enjoy the game :)

Quick question‑is the character DJ dead or is he the diver? Ive only unlocked two endings so far: one where I escape alone, and another where I get away with April. I can’t find DJ in any playthrough. Is there even a secret third ending?
