About the game

What Begraved is.

A cosy & dark first-person co-op dungeon crawler where you loot cursed crypts, dodge traps, and flee from things that should not move. Escape with treasures snatched from the dead. Decorate your hideout, uncover buried secrets, and remember: the Taxman always comes for his due.

From Begraved's store page, as listed on 30 August 2026.

“The vibe is sick and it'll be hilarious with friends, but I'll wait to see how deep the dungeon loop runs and whether it's optimized. Solo balance breaks too many of these, so if you have no squad, pass for now.”
