SoloQue Studios is an indie game studio based in Kronach, Bavaria, Germany. Currently focused on a single project, UnderPath, the studio is committed to creating an atmospheric and immersive experience. With a deep passion for storytelling and gameplay design, the goal is to push the boundaries of indie game development, delivering a unique and memorable experience for players.
Indie game studio SoloQue Studios is thrilled to announce that UnderPath, a Singleplayer Survival Horror FPS is now live on Kickstarter and is available to wishlist on Steam!
UnderPath takes you into a dark and mysterious world where danger lurks around every corner. One of the many ominous locations you’ll explore is Pinecreek Forest, a dense, haunting woodland filled with unsettling sounds and hidden threats. As you progress, the story unfolds through hidden documents and the horrors you encounter, revealing dark secrets about your past and the world around you. The oppressive atmosphere will challenge your instincts as you venture deeper into the unknown.
As you explore, you’ll loot valuable resources to craft weapons and upgrades, necessary for survival against the zombies and demons that hunt you. Along the way, solve puzzles, avoid deadly traps, and manage your resources carefully. Every decision you make will impact the story, leading to different outcomes as you navigate through this terrifying world.
The horror in UnderPath is relentless and drives the story forward, keeping you constantly on edge. Dark, oppressive environments and gruesome creatures pull you deeper into the mystery, while unsettling sounds and sudden threats heighten the tension. Each encounter serves as a reminder that the unknown is your greatest enemy, pushing you further into the darkness to uncover the truth.
Combat is brutal and tactical. To defeat your enemies, you must first weaken them by severing their limbs, making them vulnerable to a precise headshot. Alternatively, enemies can be taken down through their lifepool, but limb dismemberment saves valuable ammunition and time in battle. Whether you’re fighting zombies or supernatural horrors, every encounter is a strategic test of your combat skills and survival instincts.
Key Features:
- Pinecreek Forest: Explore dense, haunted woodlands filled with hidden dangers.
- Loot and craft: Gather resources to craft and upgrade weapons to improve your chances of survival.
- Horror atmosphere: Experience constant tension in a world designed to scare you, with terrifying sounds and visuals around every corner.

- Two endings: Your choices determine the fate of your character, leading to one of two different endings.
Will you uncover the truth, or will the horrors of UnderPath consume you before you get the chance?
Mature Content Description
The developer describes the content of UnderPath:
This title may contain content not appropriate for all ages or may not be suitable for viewing at work, such as frequent violence or gore.
Sole developer Andre Kley is hoping to raise enough funds through crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.
Creating UnderPath on my own has been an intense journey filled with passion and challenges. To fully realize the game’s potential, external support is essential.
With your help, Andre can further develop crucial areas like AI mechanics, world-building, and story elements. These improvements will ensure that UnderPath not only runs smoothly across a range of systems but also provides a deeper, more immersive survival experience.
By backing this project, you’re helping bring an ambitious vision to life, creating a horror experience where every decision and discovery leaves a lasting impact.
Given the steady progress made in recent months, a release by the February 2026 seems realistic. However, some flexibility will be required to ensure the game is polished and complete. As a solo developer, my priority is delivering a high-quality experience, which may mean adjusting the timeline slightly to maintain the game’s standards.
The game will be released exclusively on Steam, and you can already add it to your wishlist to stay updated on the latest news.
Andre is committed to incorporating your creativity and ideas into UnderPath as much as possible. Your involvement truly matters, and I want the rewards to reflect the unique impact you’ll have on the world of UnderPath. All rewards are exclusive to this Kickstarter campaign, available only during this limited time and won’t be offered again once the campaign ends.
