What is Casualties: Unknown?

Casualties: Unknown is a top-down survival game set in procedurally generated underground caves. The full game has 11 floors to descend, three playable characters with their own attributes and traits, and multiple endings. Your goal is to retrieve lost cargo, known as The Grey Planet.

Survival here is physical, not just a health bar. The game simulates limbs and the cardiovascular system, so injuries have to be treated wound by wound, and blood loss is tracked. Hunger and thirst matter too, and supplies found underground are limited, so resource management runs through every descent.

The demo: what you can play now

The demo covers the first 5 of the game's 11 floors, so it shows the core loop: descend, search, manage hunger and thirst, treat injuries, and get back out. More than 500,000 players have tried it, and the demo's Steam reviews sit at Overwhelmingly Positive. That is the material every guide on this page is built from.

Guides in this hub

  • Beginner's Guide (Demo): survive your first descent, learn the radial inventory, and manage hunger, thirst and injuries.

  • Injury and Medical System Explained (Demo): limbs, blood loss, bandaging, shrapnel removal, and the drugs in the combat pen.

  • After launch on November 9, 2026, this hub will grow: full walkthrough, boss, ending and collection guides, written from the full game.
