At BitSummit PUNCH, room6 showed off UNDERGROUNDED, a PC puzzle adventure about a man named Scott who drops his engagement ring down a drain and must navigate a sprawling underground world beneath Manhattan. The sewer opens into a surreal 1980s shopping mall where other lost souls wander. Players solve light puzzles by combining items and can also play a Donkey Kong-style arcade mini-game hidden in the depths; clearing it triggers effects in the main game. UNDERGROUNDED is due on Steam in 2026.
