Below the Underworld
Below the Underworld is an interactive, story-driven artistic and healing experience.
It focuses on facing the demons trapped below the underworld, healing them, and restoring them to their original state.
These stories are drawn from personal experiences, with the demons representing unresolved traumas. The first part of the game focuses on bullying, a painful experience the creator faced as a child and continued to carry into adulthood, leaving behind deep feelings of inadequacy.
You play as Jing, a young boy who has forgotten his true purpose.
Jing is an old soul carrying stories from the past, with the demons representing unresolved traumas. Born into a loveless world, he carries bullying, rejection, and trauma as shadows that keep him from his true self. Guided by a mysterious light, he arrives on a misty island, a reflection of his fragmented inner world.
Jing will face fragments of stories but also gatekeepers and demons to keep the vulnerable parts protected. To continue, Jing must face these and transform them through his loving presence and awareness.
But deeper in the mist waits the Dark Wizard. He is the embodiment of Jing’s greatest fear—his own shadow.
The motto of the game is that, only by facing your own demons, fears and traumas and thus healing your heart, one will find true meaning, acceptance, peace and deep connections with others and self.
