'''Guard:''' Hm, I guess our applications do not require more advances hardware?\\

In Underhell, you assume the role of Jake Hawkfield, a SWAT officer who has recently lost his wife in an apparent suicide. The Prologue takes place one week after this, with Jake responding to a call to a hostage situation at a local hospital. However, it quickly becomes apparent that there is something bigger than a random act of terror going on. Chapter One picks up shortly after the events of the Prologue, with Jake arriving at the mysterious and top-secret A.R.C. complex. Shortly after Jake's arrival, a [[TheVirus mysterious virus]] begins to spread out of control, zombifying nearly the entire population of the complex, save a few security guards and civilians who he must team up with to survive. Of course, this turns out to be something bigger than a simple zombie outbreak, as soldiers move in to "disable" the group, and discerning the truth becomes more and more difficult.

* PosthumousCharacter: Jake's wife.

* HostageSituation: One happens in the Prologue.
* HyperSpaceArsenal: Averted. Jake can only carry five weapons.
** [[PlayingWithATrope That being said,]] you can fit a ''lot'' of first aid kits, spray bottles, and rolls of bandages into a prison jumpsuit.

* ImAHumanitarian: Angelo.

* LostForever: Many of the Hermit's playing cards become inaccessible once you progress far enough in the plot, meaning that if you miss that one card hidden in a dumpster, you're screwed out of his achievement.

* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:Frank.]]

* WomanInBlack: Jake's wife at night. She is considerably more hostile than her day counterpart. She looks like [[Film/JuOn Kayako]] and has the same model as [[VideoGame/NightmareHouse Emily.]]

* MookHorrorShow: Downplayed, the [[PrivateMilitaryContractors PMC's]] never really appear afraid of the survivors, but the [[spoiler: soldier that gasses Jake]] is clearly pissed at Jake's body count, and a couple other PMC's near the [[spoiler: surface]] are far more wary of Jake than the rest of the survivors.
