Our take on Buried
The defining detail is the coffin setting: escape puzzles unfold in darkness while oxygen, battery power, lighter fluid, and stress remain limited.
What is Buried?
Buried is a short escape experience set inside a coffin.
The player wakes in complete darkness, unable to move, with a phone that has limited battery and a flashlight. Wooden planks surround the confined space, while oxygen and lighter fluid are also limited. Searching the coffin reveals helpful items, and puzzles must be solved to find a way out. The escape attempt requires balancing battery power, lighter fluid, and oxygen. Stress must also remain low, because panic rapidly reduces oxygen levels. The experience has an expected playtime of around 30 minutes and focuses on determining whether escape is possible before the available resources run out.
