Into the Hive

In a peculiar basement, eerie and obscure,

Lies a peculiar man, his presence unsure.

As your trembling hands betray your fear,

Strange creatures emerge, drawing near.

Seek your escape, or perish in your quest,

For in this cryptic labyrinth, there is no rest.

Description:

Into the Hive is an immersive first-person shooter horror game, crafted in the nostalgic style of the PlayStation 1 era. Initially developed as an entry for the 32-bit Jam 2021 in a 2 week timeframe. 

Paying homage to classic horror games, Into the Hive melds old-school atmosphere and puzzles with innovative mechanics and visually advanced elements. Along the way, players will encounter menacing insectoid monsters and a mysterious man who adds intrigue to the narrative.

The latest update, Version 0.3, brings a meaningful amount of under-the-hood enhancements, new gameplay mechanics, captivating visual upgrades, and an enthralling new introductory level.
