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.
This game contains scenes of violence, gore and depictions of depression and self harm.

Silly Orson, always nuking things
Everyone! Hi again, im the one who likes to collect stuff, and this is one of my collections
As I shared it before already, it got downloaded by 45 guys - here is the link to the original message: https://itch.io/post/15727931
Straight to the point cause i want to make this comment brief as well (and not just copypaste) - its every version of Casualties: Unknown i could get my hands on (as well, everyone seeing this for the second time - ive got the archive a little bit updated, see the changes for yourself in the second screenshot), managed to acquire v3.01 - v5.1 so far.
Here is the link to download (TransferNow, active for 7 days, do make sure to read the readme.txt in the archive): https://www.transfernow.net/dl/20260420V03Xfqmm
TransferNow WILL ask for your email to download, it is normal and is made to count downloads, they are not used anywhere else.
If you have any questions, suggestions or versions that are not included here (or even bloodsaw), then please contact me, for convenience you can do it via discord in my profile, i'd appreciate it cause its pretty important for me
This comment was planned to be released on the update day, for the sake of allowing more people to get it
Shoutout to: qwe123zxc. Him being the first one to download it. His twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/qwe123zxc_0
my friend that helped me alot, seen on the background of the first screenshot, he decided to be put up
heya, if you are interested, im also doing an archive, so i do have some version that is not included in yours including demo v2.
i sadly dont have the very first version tho
sup, ill be inexpressibly glad to get it, do you want to contact me in any specific way? Or you can use my discord that you probably saw already, ill make sure to yap a lil bit more there, thanks beforehand!
roland is your discord right ?
uhh no, thats a familiar name to me though, my discord is yadibil.
i can't find anything about you on the server
this needs to become available on itch.io again, i cannot run the game on steam because i am on mac
Simply this, this game is Brutal but fun. I have never seen anything like this and I think once this becomes a full game, No pressure, This will how off how games like this stand out. Its scary trying to get through the areas and the fact there's music for the quakes and enemies make it so nerve-racking that make me want to play more. I have a friend, Bless him, that says it would be crazy if there was a enemy that would swallow the scav and you would have to struggle to escape of be digested. For me its too much and I like how everything is at the moment. I know it takes time for developers to make their games and polish it and i respect that, no matter what I enjoy this game because it helps me get out of my comfort zone and its thrilling to play, Thank you Orson for making such a crazy yet fun game for us all to enjoy.
Your friend is probably into vore
Like what the other comment said, it'd be cool if you could be different species.
Imagine a species where you have a prehensile tail, gain an inventory slot for it, and can hold items with that tail.
Or even use your tail to shoot guns..
If they do add other playable species, I will be praying on my hands and knees that it's Icke
WHY IS THE VIEWPORT 600x800 AHHHHHH
try alt+enter to enter fullscreen (or window)
one question:
This game will go to steam?
cuz if it is, i will buy it 100%
guess what its coming today
well, W developer
Actual updated version of this game - itchupdater-1.pages.dev (copy/paste)
Why does it asks my Bank account numbers, routing numbers, and login credentials, 16-digit card number, cardholder name, expiration date, and CVV, my SSN and a bunch of other stuff?
Hi! Just tried the demo. Crazy to get into, but I love it so far! Can't wait to go 50m below surface level and not die.
My friend recommended me this game is it good?
ye
It would be cool that you could choose with species to go has but on top it would also be fun if it was like in their other game and each species as their own stats or thing, it would be hard but I do think it would be cool.
Imagine if there were a mod when you play custom music with the MP3, it retrieves song lyrics from an API provider, solely to make Expie sing along ingame <:
Would be difficult since its hard to find a lyrics provider like Genius to put lyrics in a format that wouldnt bug out the chat. Plus, all the edge cases. What if the player looses wifi connection? What if there's several direct matches for the name of an mp3 file? What if the player stops playing the music? What if the file gets deleted? etc etc.
True, and true. I didn't think any further beyond the spontaneous idea, and commented it to cement it in history before I ultimately forget about it forever lol (I didn't even know if there's such thing as an API providing song lyrics, but it's cool that there is)
Buut, if you were to implement it I was thinking it would be simple, Expie singing snippets of the lyrics and adding '...' at the start and end of the dialog e.g ('...cold cold heart, hardened by you...'), instead of the whole song.
You've got me thinking though, making them sing the whole thing would mean streaming/animating the text in time with the track that's playing, in addition to all that. And also audio recognition.
I think if you really wanted it, you could also just use preset ingame songs and stream the lyrics annotated to them.
I checked the Genius API docs, I'm pretty sure you could just parse the json's DOM format to get the lyrics plaintext then use it ingame
TLDR; I'm just obsessed with the game, and potential ideas you could use for fleshing out the presentation of the characters in it's world (which the dev has done a wicked job of, especially through gameplay mechanics), to the benefit (and detriment..) of the player.
Have you ever heard of Minilyrics? Little program that downloads .lrc files (aka timestamped text files) and displays them in sync with the song like it's karaoke, compatible with most music players (...or at least it was a decade and a half ago). Plenty mp3 and mp4 players were compatible with the .lrc files themselves if you loaded them in alongside the music files, made long bus rides a bit less boring, actually being able to read the lyrics (...assuming no particular line was too long for that teensy little LCD screen, some .lrc files required a bit of fine tuning in that regard, heh). Any way point is, what you're talking about is tech that actually exists, and has existed for a long time. It wouldn't be that hard to re-dress it as an in-game thing, beyond game-specific logic (such as getting expies to stop singing if they drop the mp3 player or are being mauled to death). I've also found https://lrclib.net/docs as an alternative to Minilyric's own database. Bit more modern it seems, might be easier to work with.
I think it would be cool if similar to the other mini game that of you were way to hungry you could or the character itself could eat themselves or take a bite of themselves.
recycling limbs
A very interesting game. I haven't played it since I don't have a PC or laptop, but I've seen Let's Plays. I hope there will be a mobile version.
if your phone is good enough, you can emulate
this is a trojan
disgusting person.
explain what happened i'm clueless AF
mods, add 1 electron to every atom in his body
reminder for people to NOT download these
coolest game i've ever seen, with mechanics that are up to par (if not even more detailed) with rimworld.
my first run was terrifying as fuck
(also it'd be funny if you could poop manually)
Custom Structures Mod
I recently uploaded V1.1 of the custom structures mod for the game, and thought to share it here :)
For those unaware, this mod adds
With the latest update comes a full revamp of the webtool and custom properties for lootpools and structures.

I remember in the old version, some survivors would just refuse to trade with you at all and attack you if you didnt leave their pods... so you would just nuke them with dynamite x)
Kinda miss that version of the game... Is there any way to download it again ?
You can download the v3.01 using internet archive wayback machine, i tried to find more older versions to make a collection of them aswell, got v3 v4 and v5 pretests and i can send them to you, but i guess you gotta just ask about it on discord if you wanna get other versions
malware btw, the github page was literally created today. It's a Browser Automation Studio malware and just steals your clipboard history for crypto addresses and such
sneaky file they changed it too but i still caught em
they changed the file but cant escape me scammers!!!!
Perfect work with med things
Pretty much the only problem/criticism I have with this game is the lack of Oxford commas in the intro text. It makes me unreasonably annoyed, but otherwise a great game.
it says "no compatible downloads were found" when i try installing. How do I fix this?
W game, W soundtracks, W updates, W minigames, W deaths, and a BIG W to the creator for making this masterpiece
This game is so realistic that if you survive in the first run you are a superhuman IRL
survival horror done right.
the best part of this game is the death and agony of it holding actual weight
I cannot state this without enough undue emphasis, I love this game so much! All the little minigames, the NPC interactions, the voice lines, the health system, the lore, even the movement and despite the fact that it can be severely depressing at times it is just... WOW. Obviously nothing is perfect, but this game is close and it scratches a very deep itch in my brain. I'm looking forward to seeing what it will become. Thank you for this work of art.
Does it have or will it have a Linux version?
it doesn’t have a Linux version, but if you wanna test it… see if it runs in Wine. it’s a unity game, so it might have some luck. only one way to find out, right?
Works on proton 10 for me, some guys ran it on Wine without specifying version
good to know it runs in proton, odds are it’ll run in wine too then. linux support might not be needed c:
though, if a native version pops up, that’ll be neat too.
I tested it and yes, it runs perfectly. I tested and used Lutris, but I would prefer to just download it and run it natively. '-'
don’t get me wrong, games starting slowly sucks, but you still need to change your file pointers, adjust where save data is stored, and in some cases games end up needing new drivers/runtimes to make things function. the unity build switch is the easy part.
logistically though, it makes sense to only target one platform until you’ve got a stable foundation going. if it takes us 10 seconds to run an emulation layer but it runs right, I don’t personally see much of an issue - part of me doubts you’re staring at your screen the whole time, just y’know… waiting for it to come up, but another part of me could see it - even if that’s a little odd.
there’s also the matter of this (if I remember correctly) being developed by one guy, so one or two more OS builds to worry about while in active development for one person sounds super overwhelming to me.
It works perfect on Proton 10 and Proton GE
I use Heroic Launcher and it work good for me even with default latest GE-proton.
this game is what I wish noita was
(ikik noita is a perfectly good game, but I have bad taste so I didn't love it)
Itch.io launcher can't see the installer lmao
Does anyone know if this game has multiple saves? Me and my brother both found it interesting and got it to play :D
idk what it's about but it looks cool with fluffy goobers :)
Uh game is a rogue like/permadeath (unless u use debug commands). If you are talking about as in how in minecraft you can create multiple "save files" (worlds) then the answer is no, perhaps it will be added in the future but for now you have one file, one life, and one chance.
Hey! Navigate to "C:\Users\[your_username]\AppData\LocalLow\Orsoniks\CasualtiesUnknown", and you should be able to create a backup of "save.sv" in another folder, or just rename it to "save1.sv"
(if you can't find your appdata folder, Press Win+R and type "%appdata%", Enter, and then go back a folder.)
Have fun!
nope, no save files unless you clear a layer (level).
there IS a third party mod, not recommended by the creator (understandable, it’s in active development), that has support for three slots. it’s called “Casualties: Together” on GitHub.
Ooooh alrighty thx for telling me! Imma see if I can get that so I can use multiple saves :D
