Casualties: Unknown
A downloadable game
Descend into the depths of the Target Planet's cave network to retrieve a critical piece of cargo, encountering many horrifying obstacles and problems on the way, to your character's dismay. Survival chances are near 0%—expect to die a lot along the way.
Caution and patience are greatly rewarded in the depths. Any mistake can spiral into an ugly, permanent death.
Play the tutorial before starting a run. It's good to understand some of the core mechanics before descending.
Translations are available! Language files are placed in the game's Data/Lang directory. The repo with them is located here. Note: Most translations aside from EN are unfinished, and not made by me.
NOTE: This is a demo of a prototype version - expect a lot of bugs and other issues. The working name is Scav Prototype, but the final game is planned to be named Casualties: Unknown.
This game contains scenes of violence, gore and depictions of depression and self harm.

Floor tiles blending in with the background even under light is annoying and not fun at all.
Items cluttering on the ground are impossible to sort through with pixel hunting, there should be a proximity inventory.
Rates of all conditions progression, including hunger and thirst, are definitely cranked up way too high.
Allow me to explain the game.
"Hey, I can make that jump/My light went out, guess I go in the dark."
*Falls and hits three ledges to the head, landing on the floor (if you're lucky) and denting the floor*
You are now bleeding and have little to no muscle health.
You now have an infection.
You try to slow it down by using the light sources, it doesn't really work.
You now have sepsis.
You're now too weak to make jumps.
You sit there, slowly dying, for ten minutes.
You're dead.
find food, eat food, full, happy, survived, happy.
This is such fun I was almost late to work! I have a bunch of small suggestions but I wouldn't want to bo-*steps on a landmine*
This game is so freaking good like holy crap. I am not normal. I love dying repeatedly.
do you think albino experiments are the ones who get to hit the infamous 'blue eye stare'
i don't think i've ever died of sepsis in a video game before. 10/10 i love how this is going so far
Heya!
First off, FANTASTIC game, quite literally one of my favorite games of all time even if it's still a demo of a prototype, it's so insanely well made.
I just wanted to report a small bug I found but could find an email, so its goin here I guess lol. I had just made a flashlight and found a leg pouch from a drop pod. I put it on, put the flashlight and a few other things in, but the flashlight was duplicated. Its wasn't actually a usable flashlight though, because whenever I tried to move the copy, it would move the original and the copy would stay in the pouch. I dropped the copy and it dropped the og, I put the og in my sling bag and it made another copy that acted the same way while the ORIGINAL copy stayed in the pouch.
(the og is in my mouth slot)
I don't know if this is a known glitch, but I figured I'd report it anyways.
It's so telling that I've played this game for so many hours and this is the first actual glitch that I've come across. This game is so fantastic, good luck with everything :3 and have a good day!
linux support when?
Worked for me with Bottles last night! Not quite native but was playable
it works on linux for me with proton cachy, just add the exe to steam and try different proton versions
hi guys
im sick rn but i still have something to show for myself so take it and nurture it i guess idk im not your supervisor
Cute face of expie.
drank bleach and died
psychotic furry/10
Peak.
"good, expie, You Will need that- no don't thats not edible You will- NO WAIT EXPIE"
Expie on fent! Expie on fent!
This game is like if Noita had a kid with Project Zomboid but was raised by Dark Souls and bullied relentlessly in school.
One of the few games that lets you die within 3 seconds because of your own stupidity and overconfidence or die very slowly for the same reasons.
a very apt description. i like that the player character is a creature, very cutes
You don't have to be stupid or overconfident to lose. Sometimes you just get plain unlucky. All three of my deaths came from said back luck.
First death, quadruple crit from a spike trap, dropping my Expies mood by 100, giving up the will to live despite having bandages, an auto pump, and other medical items. I highly doubt the wiki when it says it's a 20% chance for resistance at -100 mood, as they resisted me over FIFTY TIMES in a row. Over a minute of trying to save the Expie, with the Expie just sitting there waiting to die.
Second death was starvation, which feels extremely fast by the way. I know the game is timescaled up, but the moment you start getting peckish, you start losing a KG per ten minutes. Insane. Pretty sure a mammal would spontaneously combust and/or melt if their metabolism was that fast. Anyways, found no food drops the entirety of layer 3. Not even from crates. Took a single wound from an off screen turret. Despite wound being completely patched up, got so depressed from that and starvation that they stopped moving (likely too weak), then they took their life.
Final death was just straight garbage. Accidentally touched a Tesla Coil vertically half buried in sand (blends in very well), dropped the entire layer down, landed in water unconscious, then shot by a turret that was juuuuuust above the water (the water was shallow) returning me to the unconscious state. Got last stand, then immediately ejected to a death screen (my guess is that the brain damage was too much)
So yeah, much more likely to die from the universe bullying you than your own folly. Unless you go full fent. Never go full fent
"Expie, we need to cook"
I love the game, and I'm so glad it runs on my 2010 laptop (I didn't expect it to run on my PC or even open). It's a little laggy, maybe it needs some optimization or a settings menu, but it's an amazing game. I love the detail that it's hard to talk if you have something in your mouth.
greetings in a non seasonal sense. magma art jams have been fun today.
i come with more art. funny thing about it this time though, is that it was also meant to help OTHERS (like You!) get a rough idea on how to draw an experiment themselves!
(if you don't know where to start already, that is-- if you prefer to draw them another way, i'm not against you! this is mainly to help others!!!)
image 1: the guide itself
image 2: the aftermath of the person asking for help using my guide
have fun if you want to use the guide : J
BROILO LEMME JOIN UR JAAAAAAMS
You should do magma more! We should definitly meet on here btw. My user is Painworld(Sandal)
wish i could do more right now, but i've been a little sick lately with a bad cough and a bit of a runny nose.. maybe later but idk
Alr!
Can you change the aspect ratio? It keeps putting it really small for me.
how do you get this animation where the player k**ls itself with a gun?
(hint this animation clip is from the main game i said in the comments)
When you have a gun, and are extremely depressed, Expie shoots itself even without a bullet present
Yes, This is death wish.
Even if it hold the gun didn't aiming by self, As it die at the hands of a gun.
You don't even need a gun. A shotgun will spawn if you don't have a gun present
Love this game a lot, you've done amazing work here.
Most content complete demo I've ever played. Fantastic!
it's hard to believe this is a demo, it's incredibly polished and there's so much to do! i like how the difficulty curve is currently such that by the time you start to get bored of watching a cute furry whimper and bleed out for 20 minutes every time you fuck up, you've built up enough skill to die less often.
shout out to the time i fell in a hole and couldn't get out and knew i was gonna die, so i looked at my bags FULL of opiates and went well i guess this little guy will die happy. And then somehow the damn thing came back from heroin overdose cardiac arrest and managed to die miserable anyway. Beautiful. i love video games.
I've recently made an account on Itch just to comment and post stuff for this game. God do i love getting mauled by a salad or overdosing on 9.99mL of pure fentanyl.
This was the third game I played during my stream. Very interesting concept for what it is, but to me, there's WAY too much to fucus on for me to maintain engagement. I walked into this game thinking it was some short-horror with survival elements but this is heavily in depth. I went in without a tutorial so I could have had a different approach in terms of my experience, but it wouldn't negate my main concern: the overwhelming amount of stuff to focus on. Definitely not a bad game by any means, just not my cup of tea in the end.
i think this is the most healthy opinion to carry for a game so in-depth like this when it isn't your cup of tea: and something i wish more people would do instead of blindly saying that the game is simply not good
I try to be as transparent and honest as I can be, even if it comes off a bit harsh at times I understand that these are indie developers that are striving for success, I also understand the flaws in myself, like here I realized with how much that goes on with this game overwhelms me to a point where I am just simply not the demographic for this.
yeah that's something i appreciate you utilizing here. honesty is a good mindset but you need to understand what you like to be truly good willed in honesty
i think it can be a fun multay player game
This game is the absolute worst, most horrifyingly painful experience I've had with gaming in quite a while. I love it
version 5.1 isn't listed properly and can't be downloaded through the itch app.
The only thing i want this game to have is...CHARACTER CUSTOMIZTION. I want a wide variations assortment for the avatar (as I'm a snow leopard)
they yearn for the gun saw

Hi, I'm trying to download the game, but when the download is about to finish, it says it's prohibited. Can you tell me how to fix this?
so i made another new head-canon considering the existence of something
first image is completely separate but the other three are a dumb little comic i cobbled together
Yo! I made an itch IO account just to comment and post other art on this. Very nice art!
That expie on the left really thought they were in for some romance lmfao-
hi hello thank you guys for the nice words and stuff, i appreciate it a fuck ton
hi I am in love with your art holy shit
refer to the reply directly above your comment ^^^^^^^
I dont see? I don't use this site often I just used your page... I'm sorry
ohhh fuh
it was just saying 'thank you for the love i appreciate it a fuck ton' if you're curious, mb for the slight inconvenience on communication
have this image as compensation for your troubles, also
OHHH OHHH BABY THIS JS SO VUTBAHAHDNS IM SAVING ! AAaggh I love your art... Ty for share
10/10 very realistic game
you end up doing self harm and just killing yourself when miserable.
probably ideal that i did it this way: i have a buncha bullcrap on me i'd like to show but i won't show it bit by bit so i'll just explain each image in order
first image: fillby trauma 💖
second image: tid bit of lore for another oc that i don't own, but thought it'd be interesting to draw what happened (robbery out of desperation for food gone horribly wrong)
third image: head canon that experiments like to think that there is something guiding them in some sort of way, because of them frequently saying things like "Can we stop for a moment?"
(ignore spamton in the third image btw one of my friends drew him at the time of me making that art for shits and giggles)
I just started and instantly love it! Also I can die drinking an entire bottle of brain-accelerating-thing (it dissolved my brain so fast I coudn't read the name) 10/10
Im scared.
I love this game so much
so tried the game, got killed instantly as soon as i stepped outside the pod
10/10
You have a slight suspictious, that it is, infact, no longer conected to the ceeling.
i got bored and did posing (and body type i guess) testing with experiments
👍
i like
found out that a expie can survive drinking a full container of bleach using the sickness reducer, having enough water / food, aswell as combat pens for mood,
fun bits :3
