The Well Is Not Empty

The Well Is Not Empty is a game about descending into tunnels beneath a settlement to find out what is moving in the well and why the water is running out. You tie a rope around yourself, climb down and search for a way out of the abandoned ruins.

Explore the tunnels

You destroy rubble to clear your way through the tunnels and search for the truth. In an abandoned prison construction site, you find notes and clues about the horrors that took place there.

Survive underground

The tunnels are infested with rats. You can hit them with a rusty spoon, and may uncover things they were eating. Other creatures fear the light, so you use a hand-crank backup generator to light rooms and make time to run past them before the lights go out. Near their gate, subterranean creatures may grab you; you escape their grasp through a quick-time event.

You also balance across massive chasms by leaning left and right to keep your equilibrium. Losing your balance can send you falling.
