About the game
You head into caves below a dog park to find your missing dog. Each descent changes the route through three underground biomes. You chip away at the ground, uncover supplies and use equipment to cross gaps. Food helps with injuries, while flares make it easier to see where you are about to land.
Friends can catch you during a fall or revive you after a bad landing. The same equipment can also cause trouble when someone throws explosives into the group. You choose between a cautious route and a faster drop, then deal with the holes and hazards left behind. Runs mix rescue attempts with accidental sabotage, so the group needs room to laugh at its mistakes.
How it feels

A group of friends, loose goals and a lot of messing around. Failing is part of the fun, and the best moments are the ones nobody planned.
