So what is BARE?

Beneath A Rocky Earth

BARE is a CoC-inspired text/sex adventure game set within a world heavily influenced by Dungeon & Dragon's Underdark writings as well as nominally inspired by the colorful and !FUN! caverns of Dwarf Fortress and it's ever happy circus.

Without spoiling the plot*, this game will take you to places literally out of this world. If simple caverns and intricate cave systems aren't enough for you, worry not! Portals to distant places, and other planes entirely, will have you exploring a vast web of locations in an environment that's changing around you based on your actions.

You decide your own reason for adventuring on! Whether to take back what was stolen from you, or perhaps a journey to seek power and fame, or even if you're just interested in seeing how many different characters you can bang, it's up to you.

BARE is a game that's not afraid to let the player make mistakes; to have the player die, lose all of their progress, or shut themselves out of entire chains of content unwittingly as consequence for seemingly minor actions. Afforded multiple opportunities to leave, stay, or venture on, be careful what choices you make and think hard whenever you come across something that seems like it may not happen twice!

It's not all sex and candy, but neither is it all doom, gloom and death. Equal and healthy doses will keep you wondering whether you really should follow that strange woman back to her place, or whether you should believe what someone tells you in casual conversation. Hopefully you second guess yourself, and struggle over the left or right path from time to time. And if you don't like the outcome, just play again and take the road less traveled!

*Minor plot spoilers. The UnderRealms are facing a looming threat from below that will test every group, species, and city. Can these warring tribes, bickering city states, and racist xenophiles band together long enough to hold their ground in the same way the surface dwellers have kept the UnderRealm denizens from flooding up out of the darkness?
