About Despair

Despair is an indie horror title developed and published by AGC that arrived on May 12, 2015. The game falls within the action, adventure, and indie genres while offering a single-player experience. Players begin their journey after the main character wakes up inside a subway tunnel. The objective involves discovering what occurred to the protagonist and other train passengers. To gain this understanding, the player must explore strange catacombs located deep underground. A small lamp with limited battery life serves as the only light source available during the investigation. Progress depends on collecting notes left behind by others to piece together the events that took place.Read more
