What is Buried?

Buried is a single-player, first-person horror puzzle game in which you wake up buried alive. Confined to a coffin, you search for useful items and solve puzzles while rationing phone battery power, lighter fluid, and oxygen. You also need to keep stress low, since panic accelerates oxygen loss.
