Impelling Vaults

The last thing you remember is falling for what seemed like forever, then sharp pain when you landed. Soon the stench filled your nostrils. Putrid. Rotten. It shocked you awake. 

As you tried to right yourself, your hands sunk into the soft floor below you, making it difficult  to stand. The oppressive darkness surrounded you. Eventually, you managed to roll down a small incline, and come to rest against a stone wall - allowing you to stand. Despite the pain you were in, you pulled out your phone and turned on the light.

What greeted you in the dim light sickened you, even worse than the smell. The "floor" that had broken your fall was a huge pile of bodies. Rotting, swollen bodies. The ones near the top were relatively fresh, while the ones nearer to the bottom were crushed bone.

How did you get down here? How will you escape?

Impelling Vaults is a Lo-Fi Survival Horror TTRPG where the players have all been tossed deep underground and left for dead. What's worse, the whole place is designed as a death-trap. Perilous rooms and winding halls stand between you and salvation. Will you make it out, or become yet another corpse rotting in the vaults?
