What Lurks Below is a semi-active incremental game that takes you deep into the depths below Old Gloomhollow. Can you discover what lurks below?
This is a short 30 minute experience made for a game jam. We hope you enjoy! :)

inspiring game; really enjoyed it!! thanks so much for posting! great sounds, atmosphere, vibes and art 💖
As a child, I yearned for the mines.
i'm digging a hole. diggi diggi hole. sacrificing blood. diggi diggi blood
Wow, this was really cool. I loved it! I would love to see a longer version of this, with more mechanics and prestige layers and everything, maybe even developing a full story. But if that does happen, please make the ending boom in production slower, since it's fun, but not really suitable for a longer incremental game. I would reccomend to explore the story further and expand the game before the gate, and to then implement some sort of prestige mechanic to develop the story even further. Overall, I loved it and see great potential :)
such a delightful little gamejam idle!! the art, theming, and writing are to die for, and i thought the idea of mixing a sort of slow-burn horror into an incremental game was both very unique and felt very natural. it only took about half an hour, so give it a go!

This is such a lovely little game! The atmosphere is great, the music and sounds are lovely, and the gameplay/progression is nice!
A fun little game. I hope more is added.
Neat little game jam incremental, would love to see a longer / more fleshed out version of this with the same excellent theming / vibe.
very nice! I love the atmosphere.
Really good so far, I just wish there was a way to respec a few upgrades and a way to save.
