The Junkyard for Windows

Explore a network of tunnels in this survival horror adventure

The Junkyard is an adventure game created and published by the indie developer Portland Games Inc. In this action-packed title, players assume the role of Josh, who must navigate numerous tunnels filled with frightening enemy factions that become increasingly stronger as the playthrough progresses. 

The Junkyard offers a combat-filled, gripping experience with its survival horror and looter shooter mechanics playable from a first-person perspective, making it a perfect title for FPS and horror enthusiasts. This atmospheric Souls-like title is illustrated in 3D graphics and explores various themes, including mystery, drama, and investigation. 

Go through tunnels 

In The Junkyard, the narrative follows you, the main character, who wakes up outside your shelter's premises, where you have always lived your life. Accidentally, you uncover a series of tunnels interconnected into one giant network that links to your shelter and several others. However, these garbage and rust-filled tunnels are full of carnivorous monsters willing to charge at possible prey. 

Explore these expansive dungeons while trying to survive the dangerous monsters living in the underground junkyard. Here, you can find various arsenals across the map to use against enemy factions and collect valuable items for your journey. Beware, though. The tunnels have bosses that possess unique abilities and are more challenging than the common monsters. Ensure that you are equipped with proper items and arsenals to defeat them. 

What’s unique about this game is that you have a choice of where to begin, which areas or enemies to confront first, or how the game ends every time you start a new game. Additionally, the placement of loot and enemies is different each time. Your character’s stats, progress, or development remain intact despite the random changes. Unfortunately, the visuals feel flat due to a lack of depth and plain textures. 

Gritty exploration 

The Junkyard delivers a gritty adventure for survival horror fans. With its dynamic enemy scaling, procedural elements, and player-driven choices, each run feels fresh and intense. While its 3D visuals may lack depth, the game's compelling combat, mystery-laced narrative, and tense exploration make it a solid experience. It's a must-try for those seeking a challenging, story-rich journey through a monster-infested underground world.
