Beneath feature

Beneath is another indie FPS inspired by FEAR, will have destructible environments


Camel 101 is currently working on a new first-person action-horror game that seems to be heavily inspired by the first FEAR. This indie game is called Beneath, and it promises to have destructible environments like those we enjoyed in older classic FPS titles, like Far Cry and (duh) FEAR.

In Beneath, you play Noah Quinn, a skilled deep-sea diver. Your mission is to get out of a dangerous underwater world full of terrifying creatures. The game promises to have smart enemies, things you can break, and weapons you can customize.

Camel 101 has shared the following videos to showcase some of the game’s destructible environments. Players will be able to shoot and destroy almost every lamp. There will also be deformation in metallic surfaces. Plus, monitors, glass, mirrors, and select tables will be breakable. Players will also be able to break some sections of cement walls.

In short, players will be able to cause havoc to the environment. That’s one area in which Trepang2 greatly lacked. And I hope to God that Beneath will be more of a traditional single-player game than Trepang2. I don’t care if it turns out to be a B-movie. I just want a plot and a story-driven FPS.

Beneath won’t be the best FPS ever created. That’s a certain. However, I hope Camel 101 will nail its shooting mechanics and the enemy AI. These are the most important things in a FEAR-like game. So, fingers crossed that the devs will keep polishing it.

There is currently no ETA on when Beneath will come out. According to its Steam store page, Camel 101 targets a 2024 release date. Still, nothing is set in stone as of yet.

Enjoy the videos and stay tuned for more!
