I've Been Waiting Years for This Dead World Scavenging Survival RPG - Subterrain Mines of Titan 

A few key points about the game: There is "time" mechanic, and keeping supplies up is important, and enemies slowly get stronger over time. However there's no real "time limit". NPC's can't die if you ignore the base. However they'll work slower and will pass out from time to time which further delays your research/production. You can get overrun by enemies, but as long as you keep things well running, you should be fine. There's no "you've played too long and the game is unwinnable" issues. You can save at any time while not in combat. If you die, you can just load a save. So be sure to keep a save or two to fall back on. Especially if you go exploring somewhere new and might get in over your head. You don't actually DIE from extreme conditions (like hunger or bleeding or whatever). Nothing is "instant death because of X". However you WILL bleed to death. When I started my character made comments about how he was about to die because of a broken leg, however I got to 100% broken, and other than massive penalties, I didn't have to worry about outright dying.

21% oxygen in atmospheric air. 16% is about the minimum to function fairly normal if you are not working too hard.

The 5 rats in the beginning absolutely wrecked me the first time i tried to fight them with the shield and cleaver. It was bad man....real bad. The mop seemed to handle em pretty well though.

Got to say the barrier of entry seems a lot more doable than the original, nice visual facelift as well. It looks like a scifi Stoneshard, another one for the collection!

That mine "overseer" I think would be meeting up with an "unfortunate accident" that no one would be witness to.

this game has nothing in common with Subterrain 1 , and a lot in common w The Sword of the Stars : The Pit.

That Tactical battle mop he has reminds me of Roger Wilco from the old Sierra Space Quest series 😂

Wow, that Tau Mogorosi guy is a real piece of work. Was kinda hoping they'd throw him down the elevator shaft and agree that the monster pulled him down. XD

Oh MAN!!! the first time I saw this on your channel I was hooked. I looked for it the other day could NOT remember the name of it. And now I see it here as a full release! HELL YEAH!

There is no actual "time limit". If your base starts doing badly, the NPC's get worse at their jobs, take longer breaks, pass out, etc... But they won't actually die or anything.

The pixel art of this game is so beaultifull it reminds me of Stoneshard

the exposition, holy shit it's like you're reading a novel

Getting some Dungeons of Dredmor vibes from this.. I need to play that again!

5:59 - What? Nothing? No snicker at the middle skill on the screen there? I'm shock-adjacent.

First game was so much more aesthetic, grimy and scary.

I have this little intel work laptop from 2020. This is the perfect laid back lurker experience to fire up on this otherwise banal and impotent machine. Thanks man.

It looks nice but couldnt they give you at least some basic walk animation? It looks so cheap how you just slide about.

It's always nice seeing your videos

Looks like more casual Quasimorph. Pretty weird transition to different genre and art style from first game.

Playing this one and loving it!

In a confined space, i.e. a cave, safe oxygen levels are 19.5% to 23.5%. Over 23.5% is dangerous because of the fire hazard (you can literally set the air on fire), below 19.5% means some other gas is displacing the oxygen and it'll probably kill you.

The normal atmo oxygen level is between 20 to 21%. In fully airtight enclosed spaces, 17-18% oxygen level will reduce the risk of fire by 90%. At 16% oxygen you'll start to get lethargic and tired due to slight oxygen deprivation. Funny things you learn in the military.

Splat is mining methane. He's a fart miner.

Mogarosi pulled a Burk on you there 😂 (Aliens reference for those who dont know 😊)

This seems really cool, I'm definitely interested.

I went check this game on Steam and the first review was a thumbs down that had 37 paragraphs about how triggered they were about "Time limits"

I'm starting to wonder if there are any games that Splattercat hasn't been waiting for?

Yup looks a lot like a sci/fi Stoneshard (if that ever gets more fully fleshed out). Sems like it needs a bit more quality work, and the whole time limits thing is still a concern. Yes a full release is a rare thing in the obscenely sick necrotic stage capitalism we have, where paid for alphas followed by usually so-called "release" (betas that still are buggy and not feature full are the usual, you get the real full final game after the also paid-for additional "DLC's").

This looks great. Definitely up my alley.

Obviously it varies based on elevation but earths O2 concentration is 21%. 19%-16% physical activity becomes more difficult, 14%-10% any physical activity exhausts you and mental functions become impaired and respiration intermittent, and at 6% is incapable of sustaining human life.

I played the demo like 3-4 years ago and really enjoyed it, but I do miss the top down Dead Space vibes of the original.

Splatter - one of the few youtubers i know that can actually read and not state dyslexia as an excuse for not doing it. So personally appreciate that. Really do 🙂

Big ol grip of well written dialogue in a unique and original IP? I'm sold

ah yeah i actually wishlisted the game back when you played the demo, i'll get it for sure at some point! time permitting, i'm so busy 🙃

Great viddy as always. Another one for the list. There are so many good games out right now

4:30 A quick Google search says 20.95% ... usually the percentage in games (and in general life, honestly) is a general idea of "amount of breathable air left" not actual oxygen... funny thing is, if something was purely oxygen, the funny thing about oxygen is it's quite combustible. one wrong move and something that high in oxygen would quite literally explode.

I'd play more of these types of games if the sprites were animated.

The first one is real time action. A bit surprised the devs change the sequel to turn based instead.

I'm using the default hotkey tilde ~ to swap weapons and it's working for me.

The slow burn reminds me of many CRPGs, which is fine with me. The design, based on the terms "scavenging survival RPG" is probably a bit more "emergent gameplay" as they say rather than linear (also a positive thing I think, as long as it is not just survival for survival).

4:30 Actually it depends on the pressure. If you go with lower pressure, more of the overall air must be Oxygen. Just so that the _partial pressure_ of oxygen is the same. That is especially often done in spaceflight, where weight is at a premium. And you don't want to carry nitrogen around. Alternatively, it could be "X% of the ideal amount" you need.

I wish that you could have some party mechanics when you go down in the mines, but from what I'm hearing here we are the only ones capable :c I was looking forward to the potential of equipping and bringing groups down into the mines.

Sweet, I really dug the first game. Kind of a shame this one is a turn based RPG rather than a top down shooter but it looks neat enough that I'll have to check it out!

Splattercatgaming should have like, 2 mil subs really.

I love your videos, Splattercatgaming! You're my hero.

would be nice if it had some walking animation between each tile

"Thinking inside my head"

It took me a few seconds to get what „mowdez ow pahrrent dies” meant. :))

ThankYou SirSpla77

Pull out...A valuable skill to have when engaging 304s.

Thanks for showcasing. ^^

Being a Dystopia is not a good enough excuse for charging you for everything, since the whole groups survival depends on you and only you, so yeah the credit system seems to make no sense. Also is it really a Dystopia when there are no corporate overlords? it would have made sense if instead of the overseer implementing the credit system it was an AI that maintained it for when the parent corp was still around and the AI was in charge of resources like life support, doors and machinary for example.

Oh great. Main character has amnesia.

Looks interesting

Taken from a Steam review: "...and the infuriating thing is that the game is almost perfect or perfect in so many ways IF it had the classic RPG structure and not that unbelievably obnoxious time pressure aspect..." I was looking forward to trying it out, it looked great. But time pressure aspect is the reason why I won't be buying. (just so the devs know)

Besides the quality of life stuff AND the menús being a tad "stuborn", looks fun.

Really need a sequel to the 1st one that just improves on it instead of... this. It had such a good atmosphere and gameplay loop but it had its issues.

It's 1% Argon, 20% Oxygen, 79% Nitrogen for 100% "air" ratio. So basically, humans live on Nitrogen and are supplemented by Oxygen. Edit: Okay, I just Googled it and it's more like 1% Argon, 21% Oxygen, and 78% Nitrogen. Close enough.

Loved the original game, tried the demo for this spin off and as much as I wanted to enjoy it, nothing clicked.

Loved the original. This may be a little too different for me. Still looks fun but I wanted more of the first game just sequelfied.

this game looks entirely different and has an entirely different vibe compared to subterrain 1

Strange that the weapon swap didn't work for you, seen other videos of the release version and they have used keybound swapping without issues.

24:34 that's what she said.

nice!

random generated levels?

My god, what have they done

hey splat Gobiln stone is in 1.0!

Dunno, the turn-based gameplay doesn't really seem to be on the level of Quasimorphosis or Stoneshard, the real time "moment-to-moment" gameplay was better in Subterrain 1, even if it got repetitive.

ah, the non-Subterrain Subterrain game :)

Was so looking forward to this but there’s no excuse for front-loading that much exposition unless you got Tolkien in your name.

Sci Fi Stoneshard? Color me interested.

31:00 Something I've noticed...why do you never use "Take All" buttons in games? Edit: The bugs mentioned were all fixed already, except maybe the UI one. As for QOL...well, kinda. 6:42 You also have a TP now that can be used as long as you are outside the mines to get to them without having to go through 5 loading screens :P. 7:45 The research stacking part couldn't be "Fixed", so it was changed. Instead of needing 100 F researches, you need like 10 now but they are more expensive and each one takes longer. 12:48 this one (The "UI one") might or might not have been fixed. I always use Shift, Ctrl and Alt for UI management in any game that has it, so I didn't even notice this one had those UI problems as I just didn't click and drag...ever :P. As for the different menus, they are still there and yes, it also annoys me. I get it's cuz "weapons+armor+acc in one, meds in another, trash in another, etc". If u had all of that in one it would cover the entire screen and give too much freedom on what you can carry and make it easier as I could just carry a couple of weapons, a couple of water bottles and meds and then loot EVERYTHING, so I kinda get it, Screen economy as Splatter said. Still, I'm with Splatter on this one, as always, fk inventory management lol. You can use the scroll wheel to go through menus, if that helps :P. It did help me. The weapon swap does work now and you can reload weapons with a button too, which u couldn't before and was annoying as fk. 22:00 for any1 wondering, what he cut here is even MORE dialog. Yeah, until you get to the mines, it goes kinda slow lol. 22:47 Yup, get used to that lol. 23:30 Not explained correctly. More of a missfire than a jam. It just skips your turn and you can shoot again. It's a "turn lost" mechanic for ranged weapons. You don't really need to fix anything. 26:35 He isn't kidding, like 5m if you don't skip it. 27:10 I mean, it's in the char screen but yeah. I would've had the same reaction the 1st time it happened if I hadn't read what it did in the char screen before. 29:50 Man, it's as if you've played a ton of games, you got that on point, who would have thought!...lol. He basically hit the nail in the head. It's for new characters. You start with more stuff, better stats and more skills based on tag progress of that characters' "profession" (their classes). Be it miners, sec guards, scientist, etc. 31:58 Lower right 37:15 Explained by AdamBladeTaylor. 37:15 Also, told ya to get used to talking for a wile with a monster right next to you lol.

🖤

I'm almost certain that's its not Subterrain 2. If I recall the devs even said as much. More like a side game.

🎉

This looks a lot like stoneshard/doors of trithius. How does it fare compared to those?

Stoneshardlike

as far as i know this is a side game and not subterain 2 thats way extended title and entirely different play style pretty sure the devs even said that at some poit but k

I was gaming back when games actually looked like this. We’ve evolved and I have no need to play games that look like this anymore..lol.

If this is a dystopian world and you are the only one able to go into the mines doesn't that make you invaluable. Why do you have to pay for anything.

I dislike that they've downgraded the optics compared to Subterrain 1.

lol, you're not far off on the oxygen, in fact anything above 25% starts leading into oxygen toxicity.

time limit? yeah i pass

wtf, why did they do a 180 turn on gameplay...

it looks worse than first game

From real time system shock like. To turn based quasimorth copy. Sorry but I'm good.

Completed game. What a buggy mess it is right now. Progressed thru without quest ? Soft lock. Stand near secret passage stone and game want to say "fuck you in particular" - soft lock by animation stop, touch a car(who know they know) and you can never finish quest about gambling night, didnt push ONE option in detective quest - sequence break, game want to say "fuck you in particular" - char need break apart and you dont need to feed or sleep ever again OR can sleep forever since gauge dont move. Balance is nonexistent and rifles fuck everything to kingdome come. "collect badges for new game bonuses" , mhm, there is like 4-9 badges in start location (depends if you go to grab some on graveyard) and you can 100% every class before even go to leve 1 mine. Fun game , but ill wait a year for updates.

Nope. First one was quite an unique expierience. This looks like another xxx game of the same kind...

What a downgrade. Feels like devs been cutting costs from production to release.

I don't like the timer mechanics

I love the look of this game but when theres no walk animation i cant play it man breaks immersion ruins it and when is such an easy thing to implement what a sham theres a god damn attack animation ughhhh

Very disappointed with this, i think im just gonna boot up the old one again

Yikes, this might be the least appealing game you've ever covered. And you've covered some real stinkers before

jesus, that's so much text for a survival game, i think ill pass

This game is a departure from the original, thus why I didn't purchase it. Disappointing. When this is on for 80% Off it might be good to pick up.

The animation downgrade is real, why tho?

From the looks of it, this has got zero to do with Subterrain 1. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

ya, i bought this a few days ago

At first I was like ''why are the graphics so different than Subterrain?'' and after a while I realised it is the same art style just with a bit of an angle.

I was confused by title I thought it was underrail 😅
