About this game Read the full description

"Nikki… Nikki, damn it… can you hear me? Wake up… please…"

Welcome to Nairhad — the sunken city that never stopped breathing. IT BEGAN is a single-player tactical horror shooter set in the drowned ruins of a forgotten metropolis.
You awaken in silence, alone… but never truly alone.

Face the cult that worships the abyss.
Fight twisted creatures born in salt and madness.
And uncover the fragmented memories of a man who may no longer be himself.

Every corridor is a secret.
Every shadow is a whisper.
And something — something beneath the water — is waiting.

The city sleeps… but the water remembers.

Nairhad isn’t just a location — it’s a living tomb.
You’ll walk through flooded corridors, derelict chambers, and crumbling monuments of a civilization that tried to forget itself.

Light is rare. Oxygen is precious. And silence is never complete.

Every corner holds a secret.
Every step pulls you deeper.

Violence is not always the answer. But silence… often is.

Use darkness to your advantage. Lure enemies into traps. Disable lights. Distract with noise.

IT BEGAN rewards patience, precision, and fear.

You are not a soldier. You are the only one left who can disappear.

Who were you before Nairhad took you in?

As you navigate the ruins, echoes of your past surface through broken machinery, scattered notes, and hallucinations.

Memories twist. Reality bends.

The truth isn’t waiting to be found — it’s waiting to be remembered.

You were never meant to return. But the cult remembers.

Fanatics lurk in the deep, protecting something ancient.
Creatures shift in the shadows — born not of flesh, but of water, bone, and madness.

Every enemy has a purpose. Every encounter, a cost.

Some are waiting to kill you.
Others… to wake you.

Just survive and find answers in this world
