Beneath
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
🏆 1st Place Winner — Jammy Jam 2026
Beneath is an atmospheric 3D puzzle-horror game built in Godot Engine 4 by team Slaughty-byte.
Developed in just 7 days during the Jammy Jam hackathon organized at the NIT Institute in Algeria, this project was an incredible experience.
We won't be continuing development on this title further, as finding fresh and engaging level designs for this specific mechanic proved challenging, but overall it was a fantastic learning process and a very fun jam!
