Below—with its cavernous visuals, enveloped in saturated shadows and indigo hues, generously and ominously expanded on a wide screen at its station—stood out at Microsoft's pre-PAX indie showcase without needing to make any sound. A diminutive warrior wielding a sword and shield, wandered about the darkened bowels of the earth, precariously stepping into the unknown with the faint light of a torch. Sometimes he would find patches of soft grass swaying by a ledge or a refreshing spring made by streams trickling along the rocks. Raising a lantern against a circular wall revealed glowing pictographs that reveal the unspoken narrative. Spelunking truly never looked so gorgeous.
