Eclipse Below for Windows

Game Snapshot

Eclipse Below is a cooperative horror role-playing game for PC developed and published by CactusBall. It places up to four players in the role of survivors navigating an eerie underwater refuge, working together online to stay alive as one of the last remaining crew members.

How the game plays

Players move room to room inside a submerged bunker, coordinating with teammates to scavenge supplies and make tactical decisions. Gameplay emphasizes teamwork, communication, and resource management as you search for items that keep your group alive and mobile.

World and storyline

The planet’s surface has been destroyed after the sun expanded into a red giant, reducing everything above the waves to ash and heat. Humanity’s remaining life clings to safety in the ocean depths, where the bunker’s corridors and flooded halls hide fragments of the past and pockets of breathable air. Part of the tension comes from uncovering relics that still contain scarce essentials.

Core mechanics and pickups

• Salvage: broken machinery and scrap parts that can be repurposed into tools and upgrades.
• Fuel: necessary for powering equipment and some defensive systems.
• Oxygen reserves: limited canisters or sealed containers that restore air for survivors.

Strengths and weaknesses

• Strength: Strong atmosphere and haunting worldbuilding give the game a memorable, immersive tone.
• Weakness: Heavy emphasis on multiplayer means single-player sessions can feel thin or less satisfying.
• Strength: Cooperative play encourages strategy and teamwork, rewarding coordinated exploration.
• Weakness: Progress and pacing can depend on other players, which may disrupt the experience when teammates disconnect.

Alternative suggestions

If you’re looking for something with a different pace or a larger player base, consider multiplayer survival shooters like Garena Free Fire for quick, competitive matches, or other co-op survival RPGs that offer more robust solo options.
