If you are digging around for hidden gems in the world of PC Games, Supraland Six Inches Under is a title you simply cannot skip. Originally planned as a small DLC for the first game, this project accidentally grew into a massive, standalone metroidvania puzzle-platformer that easily stands on its own. You are shrunk down to the size of a plastic toy, exploring a backyard sandbox world filled with clever puzzles, hidden secrets, and a whole lot of charm. It perfectly blends the exploration of Zelda, the progression of Metroid, and the first-person puzzle-solving vibe of Portal into one incredibly fun package.
Storyline
The plot kicks off with a massive disaster—well, massive if you are only two inches tall. A terrible event known as the "Rakening" strikes the sandbox, wiping out the surface and forcing the surviving toys to flee deep underground. You play as a brave little blue plumber who has to navigate this dangerous subterranean world to rescue the townspeople, find wealth, and help everyone survive their new reality. It is a lighthearted, funny narrative that does not take itself too seriously, letting the quirky NPC dialogue and ridiculous toy-world logic do all the heavy lifting.
Gaming experience
Playing this game is an absolute joy if you love having those sudden "aha!" moments. The developers actually dialed back the combat compared to the original game, shifting the spotlight heavily onto exploration and brain-teasing puzzles. Every time you unlock a new ability—like a magnetic beam or a bounce pad—the whole map opens up in unexpected ways, making you want to backtrack just to grab that one chest you could not reach before. The controls are tight, the underground world design is wildly creative, and the pacing feels spot on. It is the kind of cozy yet mentally stimulating adventure that makes it way too easy to lose track of time.
