Paradise is Below

Eternal Paradise is Here

Alone in the countryside, an old man must protect his mind, body and spirit from an encroaching darkness.

Small Open World, Blood, & Rust

Paradise is Below is a VR psychological survival-horror game, currently in development for the Quest 3 and PCVR. Inspired by games like Silent Hill, The Suffering and the open world / dungeon layout from The Legend of Zelda- Paradise is Below is my attempt to make a survival horror game as a long-time fan of these classics and how they were designed. The goal is to create a narrative-driven, single-player, psychological-horror where players will explore a small town containing instanced locations in order to confront God and achieve redemption.

Developer's Notes

As this is an in development title, players should expect the gameplay and quality to be a work in progress and the plotted course to be subject to alterations and changes- but all in the interest of making the best game possible! Your support and feedback helps improve quality and determines the priority of development updates! 

Since it would be a pain to update this list in multiple locations, here you'll find a simplified version. For more details, like what features are planned for each version, please visit the Robot Punch Patreon for the most up-to-date and detailed information.

Implemented Features (v0.1.0)

- Two ways for the Dream to end, one with consequence to sanity.
- Ash's RV, the Halcyon, which offers shelter from the darkness.
- Pistol with chest holster for more comfortable weapon handling.
- A flashlight, for navigating the incoming darkness.

Kind of a feature light build for 0.1.0. Spellbrook is mostly white-boxed and setup for level-streaming of the open-world. Mostly will be setting up additional core mechanics at this time, while expanding Robot Punch with a development team who will support the vision. Most likely will look towards bring on a 3D Creature Artists and an Environmental Artists first.
