Both games are by the same games author as ‘suteF’.
Descent 5.2Mb
Descent is more of a straight platformer (which incidentally has no resemblance to the 3D FPS of the same name). Complicated moves such as air jumps, spring jumps and ledge grabbing need to be mastered to first of all descend through the maze of corridors into the cave to find what lies at the bottom of the cave. This can be quite leisurely. Ascent and escape is quite the opposite! Rapidly rising lava chases you and as the lava rises, it fogs up the screen so the ascent needs to be as rapid as possible, if you are to escape from the cave! So the ascent becomes more and more intense!
It's quite a difficult platformer!

Fetus 2.9Mb
Fetus is very much the prequel to ‘suteF’ HERE. It’s a good bit shorter than 'suteF', half an hour or so of play if you solve the puzzles quite quickly. Many of the gameplay elements are similar making it a puzzle platformer. However it’s not without surprises and well worth playing. You play as a blue character lost in a strange world, seeking to exact revenge on the party responsible for trapping you there in the first place. There is no screen scrolling and your character cannot jump, but this doesn’t detract from the gameplay. The dark and ominous uncertain atmosphere is there, and you meet various ghosts from your past, some recent, some from long long ago.
“To extract your revenge, your character, Aramas, needs to kill Fetus. However, Fetus can only be killed by the undead. This requires Aramas to construct a time machine while he's trapped in the abyss (from various laser bots and mechanical parts found in the portal TVs) to transport himself back in time once he's dead. You as the player are Aramas before he even conceived building a time machine, and is relatively inexperienced in the ways of the Abyss. Time and space are so skewed when you go through a visionometor (the portal TVs) that in one future or another, Fetus has already been killed.
Orbis, the undead catfish spirit, dwells in the Abyss in an attempt to equalize time and space. His powers are too mysterious to be explained, but Aramas believes Orbis to be someone who has the ability to shift between the 3rd and 4th dimensions of space (time is not the fourth dimension in the Abyss).
The other blue dead characters are different incarnations of Aramas. Some are dead versions in universes where he's failed. During the timeline in game however, Aramas never runs into himself, other than his spirit form, who Aramas dubs "Bob." "Bob" disappears some time during the journey, but reappears. The second meeting is between a "Bob" of 1000 years dead as opposed to a "Bob" 30 years dead.”
You have to reach the TV portal on each level. It starts off easy enough but soon becomes much trickier!
Can you avenge Aramas and escape the Abyss?
