L'ABRI -Always Deeper-
A downloadable game for Windows
A first-person horror and survival game
L'ABRI begins in the depths of a forgotten bunker…
and ends in something that should never have been awakened.
Play as an anonymous survivor and explore the abandoned sectors of SécuFrance, an underground complex designed to protect… but turned into a trap.
Through industrial corridors, narrow ducts, and gas-corrupted zones, every door you open reveals a truth more disturbing than the last.
LIGHT IS YOUR ONLY ALLY
… and your greatest risk.
You’ll never look at a shelter the same way again.
This first chapter lays the foundation of what sleeps beneath the surface.
OBJECTIVES
- Reactivate the systems.
- Escape the ducts.
- Avoid what lurks in the darkness.
FEAR WHAT PATROLS THE DARKNESS.
SURVIVE THE SHELTER.
