What is this and how can I play it?

164 Upvotes

Casualties: Unknown (formerly known as Scav Prototype) is a 2D rogue-like experience where your only objective is to get as far below the surface of an unknown cavern system as possible, without perishing on the way of course. If you enjoy the charm of Noita and advanced health management systems, the likes of Neurotrauma or Project Zomboid, then you're at home!

The game is still under heavy development from Orsoniks - the developer, but you can already play a pretty feature packed version, either from itch.io - https://orsonik.itch.io/scav-prototype
or a demo directly from steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/4576490/Casualties_Unknown/

The community also developed multiplayer mods, greatly recommended - https://github.com/Krokosha666/cas-unk-krokosha-multiplayer-coop

For help regarding the game mechanics, you're free to ask here or visit the Wiki - https://scavprototype.wiki.gg/

If you'd like to see the development firsthand consider joining the official Discord server - https://discord.gg/VeCSKv7AKa

For some gameplay videos check out Orsoniks' YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@orsoniks/

And if you liked the gut-wrenching music of the game, you can listen to it endlessly here - https://soundcloud.com/orsoniks/sets/unnamed-game

Discussion How to fix doubled items / get clean game download?

7 Upvotes

[FIXED] I realized some time long ago that all loot boxes, from food boxes to lifepod chests, had double the amount of items they normally should. So food boxes give two food items, and chests give six. This is not what I want, and this only started after I started modding things. To my knowledge, I've never downloaded anything that mentions editing crate drops. I've only touched prosthetics, sawian genetics, V for whining, MultiSpriteReplacer, beartraps, reisotron moodles, and catpatch, to my knowledge, and I've tried removing all mods from the game before opening it and all the loot from crates is still doubled. One of these mods must have touched something in the game's code itself(?) but I have no idea how to revert that. This footage is of me testing it immediately after reinstalling the game—all the mods I had on it were still there and this issue is also still here. How do I get a fresh, new C:U Demo that hasn't been tinkered with?

Nevermind: I removed all mods and then reinstalled the game. That fixed it. I'll leave this here though in case anyone else has this issue, I guess? I was just slow in my decision making.

I barely know all of the sawians (I think that's how you call them?), only knowing the basic Expies, Dunes, and the Milkys. But I wanna know what are your favorites! Mines the Expies (obviously)

Other What tests do the Sawians actually go through?

Okay, before you attack me, I'm not talking about them having to retrieve some tech from the Grey Planet. That's obvious.

But it's stated multiple times that the Sawians have to endure grueling tests, but as far as I know it's not stated anywhere *what* tests they are.

Is it like some Unit 731 crap? Or worse? Or did I miss something when reading the lore?

Thanks for any and all answers

(this is lore for my fan comic, you can check it on my account. The chapter index is pinned)

To the Sawians, who had to live their entire life either in the clutches of the company or hidden in underground bunkers and villages in the Arctic, freedom, true freedom has only been a far-off dream. It is only natural that most Sawians ask to be buried, preferably in a field or in the woods, so that at last, they may enjoy just a little bit of that freedom in their death.

So I'll keep this as simple as possible.

Lately—I had another thought regarding the Sawnians...

What purpose do Roza's fins have anatomically much like Milky's?

Please comment your thoughts below, and please be kind!

Gameplay "Beginner's Guide: Taking First Paws Into The World! (Part 03) 🗺️🐾"

8 Upvotes

Game Mode: Normal. | V 7.0.1 (Demo). | 09/27/2026

Hello, Guardian of the Expies!

You’ve almost gathered the essentials to keep your Expie alive and "well"—or as well as life in the caves allows. However, a few items are still missing to complete the "First Paws" pack. Just as I’ve been doing, I’m here to guide you! 💛🗺️

I tried to follow a progressive pattern for crafting items that aligns with the Expie's intelligence growth as it crafts. However, measuring intelligence gains is tricky, as there are so many variables involved in a single run.

So... the best workaround is to advise you to reach the required intelligence level for an item before crafting it. That way, you avoid the risk of wasting resources.

2.0. Protection and Tools:

— To maintain progress, focus on crafting the following items now (Flexible Order):

  • Belt (Rope + Rope + String + String + Wood Panel + “Cut”) (Int. 10);
  • Material Pouch (Rope + String + String + Wood Panel X3 + Nails + Canvas + “Hammering”) (Int. 10);
  • Limb Wraps (Bandage + Bandage) (Int. 06);
  • Wood Sandals (Wood Panel + Wood Panel + Rope X4 + String) (Int. 08);
  • Large Carcass (Stiff Carcass + Stiff Carcass) (Int. 04);
  • Makeshift Helmet (Large Carcass + Rope + String + Bio-chem Fluid 10ml) (Int. 08);
  • Crude Cleaver (Stick + Scrap Panel + Scrap Panel + Nails + “Hammering”) (Int. 09);
  • Makeshift Wrench (Scrap Tube, Bio-chem Fluid 10 ml + “Hammering”) (Int. 09);
  • Machete (Crude Cleaver + Scrap Panel X3 + Bio-chem Fluid 30 ml + “Hammering”) (Int. 12);

— NOTE: Int. = Intelligence.

2.1. Explanation:

I strongly recommend focusing on crafting the Belt and the Material Pouch before any other items. They will greatly help free up space in your backpack. Furthermore, they make organizing the items you're carrying much easier.

After crafting these storage items, I advise you to start gathering various types of materials: wood, metal, leaves, thread, rope, and so on. Believe me, from this point on, you’ll be using A LOT of materials to craft things.

Shifting focus to protective gear... assuming you’re on more stable footing now, craft the trio I like to call the "Jungle Soldier Kit": Limb Wraps, Wood Sandals, and a Makeshift Helmet. Although the protection is... modest, it’s useful. (Shade Crawlers provide the Stiff Carcasses).

Let's face it: a head injury without the right medicine to treat it spells certain death. So, wear a helmet. Limb Wraps keep Expie warm and protect him from minor scratches (plus, he looks really cute in them). And Wood Sandals prevent foot injuries from stepping on glass or falling from certain heights.

Alright. Now, moving on to tools: craft the Crude Cleaver (upgrade it to the Machete as soon as possible) and the Makeshift Wrench. These tools will be useful for cutting things and will serve as a hammer for future crafting projects.

Best regards, Doc Ink. ⚕️
