You've come oh so far, passing through many trials and losing much along the way but gaining experience and knowledge. At last you have reached your final destination, the afterlife.

You play as the spirit of a man on his way to the afterlife; however he must face one last trial to traverse limbo, the land in-between the living world and the dead.

The player plays from a first-person view and controls the man's spirit; he must follow the path through limbo with its many twists, turns and treacherous terrain. On the way you may encounter obstacles that you must find your way around, as well as other people's spirits also traversing the path that you can interact with. Although you are dead, there are still dangers. The primary one would be corrupted spirits, those who are forever trapped in limbo and exist only to spread their corruption to others. The second would be if you wander too far from the path you will encounter corruption. If your spirit is corrupted too far you will join their ranks; trapped in limbo. But if you manage to pass the final trial and reach the stairway to the afterlife you win the game.

At some point in time, a quake tears itself throughout the world leaving massive crevices in its wake. Exploration of these crevices has been handed over to you, upon arriving at the bottom of one you discover a whole new world with a seemingly large amount of networked caves connected to what you can only describe as underground domes. Not long after wandering around a large beast appears in front of you lapping its lips, you take the appropriate action and bail. Thankfully you were on the track team in high school and are able to dash out of there like an Olympian gold medallist. Unfortunately the monstrosity is keeping pace directly behind you…

Subterranean Run is a racing exploration game where you always seem to find yourself being chased by something this includes the initial beast you encounter, environmental hazards such as the classic large rolling boulder and in some instances you may be the one chasing something.

The over world map works as such; each level is a node that is connected to another, some of these have multiple levels connected to them. One can only traverse these levels one at a time in what is considered to be a "Run". Each run contains obstacles that you must avoid such as pitfalls, fallen trees and including their "pursuer" type. Some levels may require a certain item in order to progress through it, these can be found by exploring certain and currently available runs.

The objective of the game is to explore as many areas as possible all while performing certain tasks that help you continue along.
