Casualties: Unknown
A downloadable game for Windows
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.

Great game so far, I like a lot about it.
I would like to be able to pause the game and save mid-run though ^-^
If you're fine with modded C:U, you could try QoL:Unknown (https://itch.io/post/15369846) as it has both the aforementioned features :)
If not, you can type `timescale 0` into the console to pause, or simply alt + tab to another application.
There is no base game feature to save mid-run whilst keeping progress though, you'll need the mod for that
retarded furry game
Have you actually played the game? there is an insane amount of game mechanics that are awesome
Don't bother with them, it's not worth it
I have to say, I'm not a fan of the new crafting system. I much perferred just being able to put your items in the crafting box instead of having to select the recipie. Plus, it is no longer possible to choose what items get used in crafting anymore, which can be irritating.
Ok now imagine this, right? But it's also a porn game where I can get my dick stuck in a plant that milks me to death. Or some bug bites me and uh oh now my balls are growing and I have to continually drain them lest they fucking explode from the pressure. 😂
make it yourself freak
:(
will you add an option to save the game to be able to leave without losing progress? permadeath should still apply
If you're okay with using mods, QoL: Unknown allows for mid-layer saves that retain the world generation, traps, traders, etc... (https://itch.io/post/15369846)
Otherwise, vanilla has the `saveandquit` command which saves, but restarts the current layer from the start and regenerates the world on load. It also has the `continue` button when you reach the end of a layer, as well.
If you ever make a game that takes time before this one could be where human children have to do the same things as the expie's but they had to get the scientific plans for how to create the expies :0
Could I possibly voice act if this happens... 🙏
Why?
i don't think that's how you manifest yourself a job fella.
This game isnt the type of game I enjoy a whole lot but I did have a bit of fun playing. Please give an option to disable the pixel filter though it makes it so hard to see anything
Press the tilde key (key under escape) then enter "pixelate false" without the quotation marks.
Hey since you know a command maybe you could tell me another, what is the command that makes your player speak whatever you want
talk (text)
Thanks.
Fear and hunger had sex with noita and this was created, 10/10
everyone keeps saying its like noita, and now im picturing perk selection in between layers
Lots of potential here.
very good game, cant wait for the next chapters
thank you! nice game!
for some reason dying is not optional here.
Itd be cool to see new species/subspecies added in the future, and i mean probably from the game gunsaw. It adds alot more variety, and hell, make your character random each time. You can be an orange in one run or an chik another. Probably wouldnt make much sense lore wise tho lol.
10/10 game i stepped on a geyser and fell all the way to the bottom and broke all my bones. Keep up the amazing work.
from what i heard, its in the plan, but you have to WIN to get a new species.
I accidentally drank bleach
а я 1 раз выпил неизвестную фигню и 5 раз смертельно упал и выжил а потом наступил на мину и умер
This is genuinely an amazing game. It does remind me a bit of Noita, but in it's own complete thing. Seriously looking forward to this one.
The atmosphere is incredible, I can empathize with what the current experiment is going through, and they all have the spirit to keep on going despite the insurmountable odds (and injuries) ahead of them. Makes me want to give them that slightest bit of hope that they can make it.
The only problem I've had is the tiniest flow of water is enough to make you helpless as you get dragged along to wherever it's going (off a cliff, usually). Playing on V5PreTesting5.
"I honestly have no words for this game. I'm guessing it'll be around $15-$25 when it drops on Steam. I don't know what you've got planned, but I'm saying this because you're getting a ton of views and ratings right now. So here's my take: COOK THE GREATEST DISH YOU EVER SERVED. People notice the details, so show them results." :)
9/10 solid. Hella solid. Dont use the EXPLODE command when your mouse cursor is close to your character. Just dont. Speaking from experience.
Stepped on a death trampoline, got concussed, broke my legs and died in a pool of my own blood literally clawing myself to death from my own depression. 10/10, would and will suffer a cruel fate at the hands of an uncaring planet and creators again >:D
great stuff, bloody hell (literally)
will there ever be mp?
Is there a plan to release the game on STEAM?
I love how scarily detailed this game is when it comes to injuries and gore. It’s unsettling in the best way and insanely impressive. I’ve never seen this level of detail in any game. 10/10
When I hit the ennemies I see blood but their health never decrease as they bleed everywhere. I think it would be very nice if they would take damage over time as they bleed out and naturally stop bleeding after a while like us. For example I hit a shade crawler very badly with a machete and I thought it would bleed out as it ran away but it never died and put blood all over the map as it continued roaming
I could be as simple as hits also giving a bleed number in addition to damage and the total bleed naturally slowly decreasing over time to make sure a tiny hit won't bleed out the enemy
im crying why did it have to be so sad watching my lil guy die bcuz i couldnt find bandages
peak game for just a demo, 9/10
left my pod, stepped on a geyser, broke my hand from the fall and started drowning. tried getting back to the pod only to fall further down and dislocate my legs. my character started yelling from the pain and passed out from too much pain, and then promptly went into cardiac arrest and died while in a coma. scary game
it brought something back outside of the depths of my mind.
and now i really like (platonically) this bitchass mf i play as.
10/10
the first thing I did was find a way to eat a lightbulb in the tutorial and stumble through it bleeding from the mouth and unable to figure out how to pull out the shrapnel. listened to my friend in voice chat cry out in agony as he heard my character whimpering in pain. tried to eat a mystery item and immediately passed out to drown in a pool of water
immediately addicting with a literal adrenaline rush when a run goes bad and I'm desperately trying to fix it however I can, I am going to be playing this game so much
Ugh, same thing. Hearing my character cry out as I desperately tried to yank the glass shards out of her mouth, my friends in VC pleading for me to slow down and explaining the directions (which I wasn't reading at that point) to me. Games don't make me feel panicked like that very often, certainly not 5 minutes into the tutorial.
And my first run also ended in drowning in a small pool of water.
I can already tell the game is awesome!
You can die from trampolines in this game.
10/10
chat i think we may have found the first game in existence where ragdoll physics are in fact NOT the most hilarious thing in the world
horrible experience, eager to continue throwing myself at it, 10/10
if the skill level goes above 40 the game crashes
geneuinly when are you gonna get that in a regular game
it's a beta test version, you gotta push it to the limits
Do you want to know why the game crashes when you reach level 40 more than, Because the numbers exp is exceed for billion, So then will be the game crashed.
That's all, I think.
Wait, I just got to the desert, trapped in oil and shot by a turret over and over, and when I died my screen went black and the words "Let's not give up just yet" appeared and I came back to life for all of 1 second. Just commenting to say this is a neat addition that added a very awkward feeling, keep up the great work.
nothing more awkward than the "last stand" trigger that you KNOW is not going to help and only add more suffering.
Just finished my first run. Finished as in "died"
It got to me way more than i anticipated, and i love it.
(Edit, Im genuenly traumatised. Never, EVER did i get so sad after my character dying in the most painfull way possible, and watching him losing his mind and wishing for swift death and saying how "There's no place for emotions anymore". this game is already a masterpeace, and i can't wait for more updates)
that first death sticks with you if you go into the game blind. i remember staring at the death screen like i just saw a man die, and was wondering if id go through it again. (i did, many times, you'll get used to it lol)
the game is PEAK (even though its still unfinished).
please, don't stop the progress with this game. it have a lot of potential.
The game feels nice with a lot of potential.
I would say it is a mix between barotrauma health and crafting system plus rain world gameplay
Here are a few point I think would be worth working on :
- Dark tiles are almost the same color of the background so I have to put gamma to the max to barely see them even with a light. Having a parallax background with discernible colors would make it very obvious when moving a little
- No idea why but sometimes my character and items keep getting thrown left and right. A saw a mod fixing one tile water moving you everywhere so that's probably the cause. Very annoying when I make a campfire and it just gets thrown is the puddle
- Waking up instantly when sleeping and getting into water. That's just weird to have a heartquake throw you into water when sleeping and you die. When unconscious okay but not when sleeping lmao
- A way to see the near items on the floor like if it was in a secondary container because sometimes I lose items behind corpses, water etc.. and mouse scanning is very time consuming especially when under water and you are drowning
- Less earthquake and it would be nice if broken blocks made debris that could hit you. Because they happen very often in my opinion and the only way it injures me is drowning me in my sleep because I get thrown into water and don't wake up.
- And finally, most of the time the text is unreadable. I understand it's suppose to represent confusion but I think it's way too hardcore because how can i learn if as soon as I get hurt I can't read anything about it 😅
Overall it was still very enjoyable
Edit: I tried Jimmyking QOL mod and it fixes almost everything so if it was a full part of the game it would make it a lot more enjoyable
i really love the game hope one day this gets on steam cause id really buy it
brazilian fan over here :D
This game once again reminded me why I love video games so much
Is the game still updated or was the last update in may 2025 ?
I also hope this game makes it to Steam.
Latest update was in december 2025, there's just no new development logs on itch. But you can find new info on their Discord Server. : )
Aight, Thanks for the Info :D
if you click on the more information tab directly on this page it currently says "Updated 55 days ago"
Forgot about that, thanks for reminding me xD
10/10
