Official Steam store asset telemetry for Casualties: Unknown.

Descend through 11 hazardous planetary layers as an expendable test subject, managing complex cardiovascular injuries, psychological mood, and subterranean crafting.

Subterranean Descent and Hazardous Layers

  • Players assume the role of an expendable test subject tasked by alien captors with retrieving abandoned cargo.
  • The descent spans 11 distinct subterranean layers across a hostile foreign world filled with environmental hazards.
  • Each consecutive strata presents unique environmental challenges requiring specialized tools and adapted survival tactics.
  • Past expedition wreckage provides salvageable resources alongside deceptive hazards that threaten careless scavengers.

Cardiovascular Simulation and Medical Treatment

  • A comprehensive medical simulation tracks individual limb damage, arterial blood loss, and cardiovascular strain.
  • Unattended trauma leads to infected wounds, severe blood loss, and sudden loss of consciousness during exploration.
  • Players must gather native flora to manufacture sterile bandages, clotting mixtures, and critical first aid supplies.
  • Psychological stability plays an active role in endurance, where despair and declining morale penalize physical performance.

Character Traits and Crafting Systems

  • Expeditions feature 3 distinct characters offering specialized traits and tailored subterranean playstyles.
  • Surviving subterranean trials increases core character attributes covering Intelligence, Strength, and Resilience.
  • An extensive equipment registry contains over 300 items scattered across subterranean chambers and crafting tables.
  • Customizable game settings on the main menu permit adjustments to item scarcity and environmental threat severity.

Exploration Dynamics and Survival Decisions

  • Navigating tight underground corridors forces calculated choices between pressing deeper into the abyss or securing camps.
  • Every expedition reveals fragments of the overarching mystery regarding what lies at the bottom of the world.
  • Hostile subterranean ecology threatens vulnerable survivors with aggressive fauna, toxic spores, and collapsing rock faces.
  • The unforgiving difficulty creates tense emergent drama where a single untreated laceration can doom an entire journey.
