GAMEPLAY:
There are 21 floors. Each floor (currently) contains the corpse of a fellow scientist, a bomb component, and The Beast.

Find the corpses -- they have items on them. Experiment with the items. They'll help you survive.

Find the bomb components. Once you collect 5, you'll have an armed nuclear bomb. Plant the bomb to DESTROY HELL.

You have limited oxygen. Some corpses will contain tanks you can siphon from. The caverns also contain a fungus that emanates oxygen. Walking over it will allow your suit to refill it's oxygen.

Avoid The Beast. He doesn't like you, and you can't hurt him. HINT: He doesn't like water or strong light.
