A great story for a great price!
Game that inspired me to make games. Simple but incredibly compelling!
Really enjoyed this. For me, the moral choices got harder. First time through I was 'the nice guy'. Next time i go through...i'm going to be the hard ass & see how it changes.

Dear god where to begin. This is INSANELY good, charging 2 bucks for this is a major undershot as worse games charge much more, but as I am broke I heavily appreciated the price so I could actually afford to buy and play this master piece. I saw Markiplier play it and instantly knew i needed it because I love choice games, as much as they can stress me out, and I was curious to see where the other options would lead, and where my own decisions would take me, how a simple action like going back for your hard hat or not can affect the story later on, this has potential for replay-ability because of all the different choices and endings. I love Dennis, I will give my fictional life to save him, or should I save the scientist who can help us more?? It's riveting. nail-biting, and beautifully done, the backgrounds are amazing, immersive, the sound design is incredible, the story takes such a turn so fast it gives you whiplash (this is a positive ) I love text based interactive story games, so this is right up my alley. I HIGHLY recommend this game, it will have you on the edge of your seat, and thinking hard about every choice you're forced to make, and then rethinking if that was the right choice. Beautiful.
i loved this game to death. want more
Интересная sci-fi новелла про таинственное подземное сооружение и про страшные тени, бродящие вокруг. Игра строится вокруг выборов и справляется отлично с ними. Хотя я прошёл игру лишь раз, поэтому не берусь судить какие из них представляют лишь иллюзию выбора. У игры хорошее звуковое сопровождение нагнетающее нужную атмосферу, хотя отдельных звуков не хватает. Из-за этого когда ты читаешь о произведённом выстреле и не слышишь его, то теряешь часть погружения. С изображениями и анимациями всё ещё поскромнее. В проекте около 10 задников на всю игру, при этом персонажи никак не отображаются. Тут также отсутствуют какие-либо интересные переходы, которые могли бы подчеркнуть напряжённые моменты. Хотя рассказываемая история содержит множество знакомых элементов жанра, они хорошо сплетены вместе, благодаря чему сюжет не ощущается вторичным. Персонажи на меня особого же впечатления не произвели, и они ощущались больше как типажи, чем полноценные личности. Но даже так, повествование получилось интересным, пускай мне и казалось иногда, что писатель забыл некоторые детали, которые он изначально ввёл. При этом всё прохождение у меня заняло 3 часа 18 минут, хотя в стиме это время не отображается. Поскольку игру теперь можно забрать бесплатно себе, то я легко её рекомендую всем.

I highly recommend Buried for those who are into suspense and mystery novels, the story is gripping no matter the paths you choose. 100% highly recommended.
A bit short. but otherwise it's great.
This story is simple and straight forward but I still love it. The narrative itself is really cool, a science experiment gone wrong and having to deal with the aftermath along with not being able to even understand what your facing is truly frighting. The only thing I don't like is that most decisions don't matter in the grand scheme of things. They all lead to you the player making the same final decision which causes only the last one matter with how the story ends. Watching Markipliar play this when I was in middle school and having the chance to play it as an adult really making it come in full circle for me which aids in my feeling for the story.
