The announcement shows a solo developer taking on a rarely attempted setting for the genre, substituting hand-over-hand climbing and repair work for the corridors and open maps survival horror usually relies on.

Ten Image Publishing announced on October 8 that Below The Blades, developed by solo developer Dillion Muse, launches November 13 on PC via Steam, with a demo out now. The first-person survival horror game is set on Turbine 46, a 660-meter wind turbine the player must repair during a storm. Climbing uses a two-handed system: left and right mouse buttons grab the ladder, with stamina, grip strength, wind gusts, and a monster to survive.
Turbine 46 stands 660 meters tall, and the player has to reach a broken system near the top before a storm arrives. Climbing is handled by alternating the left and right mouse buttons to grab the ladder, with W and S for vertical movement and A and D to lean, so fatigue and grip strength build unless the player rests with both hands. Gusts can throw the player off. At the malfunction, tools like a screwdriver and wire cutters resolve electrical faults, with no inventory screen. Something else is on the turbine, and a previous technician's fate is part of the story.
