A sci-fi procedural dungeon crawler shooter

Penitentary 26.


A cursed prison, cast off from time, from space, from logic and reason. This is where you were born.

Created, more accurately.

Immortal and estranged, you have grown tired of the outside world.

Its time to come home.

To what Depths will you sink?

Shoot, loot, and slide your way to the bottom through:

  • Two zones, with two floors each

  • Two bosses

  • Over twenty weapons

  • Nine types of enemies

  • Twenty five plus cybernetic augmentations that change the way you play

and much more to find.

A place beyond time... or reason.

From rusty shotguns to laser pistols, the armory of Penitentary 26 features weapons from across space and time.

Horrors in the dark.

Fight all manner of creatures, twisted by the experiments conducted at Penitentiary 26. The same that made you.

Get Equipped.

Keep two weapons at a trigger's distance so you're prepared for anything.

Equip up to five different cybernetic augmentations to change the way you fight.

Never the same.

With the ever shifting landscape of the accursed prison, you'll never find the same way in twice. Every time you must start from the top, with nothing, and equip yourself anew. Can you reach the bottom?

Penitentiary 26...

While you were imprisoned there, you were used as a test subject for countless experiements. After some time, you ended up a part of a successful trial run which successfully gave you immortality. The scientists thought you dead, and had you thrown out along with all the other failures. Unbeknownst to them, you had resurrected and managed to be the only prisoner to escape.


Now decades later, after making a name for yourself as the Undying, you have come back to this prison in search of the method to restore your humanity and to seek that sweet release of death you had long been searching for. All your relatives and friends have long since passed, and you wish to join them. However, since your descent into the prison, the inhabitants and the gaurds have all become mutated. What had happened there since you first left? Will you find the method to restore your humanity? What depths will you need to go through to finally die?
