In Undertow the devil is all. You are but a lowly soul trapped in the depths of hell. But you aren't like the stains that surround you. You are different. You are unique. You have a plan.

An interesting fact about Hell or the underworld or whatever your belief calls it, is that your word is your life and the way to own someone is by owning their word.

There are a lot of lost souls in the depths of Hell, wandering, looking for a hand to guide them and people being people and people being sheep, all it takes is one. Then you will own them. The devil has grown complacent with his years. Sitting down here idly while the world hastes past him. He has grown lazy. Not even caring for his flock. But I will unseat him from his throne! He doesn't deserve to lead these people. He is frail beyond comparison. I will take his place and then I will own Hell.

And worlds being worlds and worlds being weak, all it takes is one.

In the game Undertow you play as a lonely soul on the edges of Hell. As the uncountable years pass you by you begin to become sentient. A little bit more than the numb followers around you. You need to create a stirring in those around you. Raise a flag and give them something to stand behind. You have a goal of becoming the ruler of Hell. The first goal of the game is to convince people from the depths of Hell to follow you. You can do this in two main ways, you can slay the beasts that torment them or you can converse with them and gain their trust.

The more followers you have the easier it is to gain followers. Eventually you will come to be the leader of the depths of Hell. From there the player will need to fight up the levels of hell until they come face to face with the army of the devil.

Undertow will begin as a first person game following your character as the travels around the depths finding new recruits and vanquishing foes. After the early stages of the game it progresses into an epic strategy game that lets you transits into first person to tear the armies of your enemies apart.

Undertow will be released on pc with better weapons and abilities being available for day one dlc.
