Our take on The Underground Watcher/地下监察员
The game focuses on a narrow loop of patrolling, monster fighting, earning money, and upgrading a basement. That focused structure leaves less room for elaborate platforming or a wide range of movement skills.
What is The Underground Watcher/地下监察员?
Follow Xu Sisi, a young woman who takes a short-term government job in an underground workplace.
After an unexpected visitor arrives, her duties become unlike those of her colleagues, while memories from her childhood begin to surface. The game uses 2D platforming with very limited jumping and a small set of movement skills. Players patrol the underground area, fight monsters, earn money from those encounters, and advance the story. Money can also be used in a basement upgrade system. Its structure combines narrative progression with repeated underground exploration, combat, and improvements to the basement.
