UNDERGROUNDED is available on Steam as of July 3, 2026, with a soundtrack and bundle also on sale.
UNDERGROUNDED is a puzzle adventure game developed by room6 and Game Studio. It launched on Steam on July 3, 2026, priced at 2,480 yen. The game follows Scott, a heartbroken young man in Manhattan whose marriage proposal is rejected. He drops the engagement ring into a gutter and descends into a labyrinth beneath the city that condenses American history and culture.
Players explore dungeons themed around the film industry, space development, the Wild West, and more. A cheerful canary companion offers hints when players are stuck. Bosses appear in the depths, and defeating them requires playing retro arcade games that pay homage to 1980s classics. Clearing these games alters the labyrinth and opens paths to victory. Scott also meets other characters who have lost something; helping them recover their lost items changes his own story.
A soundtrack with 25 tracks inspired by 1960s and 1980s music released on the same day for 980 yen, and a bundle set is available. A demo was available on Steam prior to launch. The game was announced for PC in June 2026, with a scheduled 2026 release window that was met.
