Overview

The well has gone dry. It's up to you to find out why. Traverse through abandoned tunnels. Discover remnants of a ritual never meant to be seen. Power dying machinery to bring light into darkness. Dig into broken earth and crawl your way out. Down here you’re not exploring... you're trespassing.

Reception

An unhinged and intense yet relatively short horror game. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This game was amazing.

Just the right length, the enemy encounters are varied throughout each section, the sound design is vile (in a good way).

Just a proper good little indie horror game.

The Well is Not Empty is a lot of fun. Very intense. It gave me chills in my spine. The environnement intrigued me a lot, I was very invested. I would say my biggest complaint is that it's quite too short. I really wished there was more when I finished the game. It's basically one big section and a second one that is pretty short. It's quite a shame...

The pacing, sound design, and atmosphere was good. Pretty nice pick for a short horror game.

This game only took me 2 hours to complete so it's really short however, it's an extremely well made, from the graphics, animations to sound design. Definitely worth a buy! I hope the devs make more games like this.

10/10 game.
