Buried is a playable, interactive story told through stunning photos, a haunting soundscape, and gripping text. You play the role of Roger Hastings, a logger who awakens to find his friends missing, uncovering something that should have stayed hidden...
Players step into the boots of Roger Hastings, a logger who awakens to a nightmare of missing crew members. The five-chapter experience lets players make choices that subtly twist the narrative's path. While not creating completely separate storylines, the game offers decision points that modify dialogue, shift character dynamics, and potentially alter the final outcome.
Throughout the story, players select options ranging from casual conversation responses to critical plot-determining actions. An innovative feature shows post-chapter statistics revealing how other players approached each decision, creating a sense of shared experience. Critical choices in the final chapter significantly impact the story's resolution, with some decisions carrying more weight than others.
The experience crafts tension through evocative grayscale background photographs, ambient soundtrack that captures existential dread, deliberately paced text reveal mechanism, scientific experiment horror narrative with cosmic undertones, and prose that pulls players deeper into an increasingly bizarre scenario.
Despite limited narrative branches, players find motivation to replay by experimenting with different choice combinations, uncovering nuanced dialogue variations, testing character relationship dynamics, and pursuing alternate story conclusions.
The game offers an average playtime of 3 hours, budget-friendly $2.99 price, runs on minimal computer specifications, features an intuitive, clean interface, and provides automatic progress saving.
Enthusiasts praise the experience for gripping storytelling, oppressive atmospheric design, exceptional value, and innovative narrative interaction.
Interactive fiction enthusiasts, narrative-driven game lovers, science fiction and horror fans, and players seeking immersive storytelling.
