A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Your parents disappeared during an expedition into the Abyss.  Now, you must descend after them.

Explore a strange and dangerous world filled with ancient artifacts, hostile creatures, forgotten records, and an ever-present curse. Each layer of the Abyss reveals new environments and new clues about the truth hidden below.  What exactly is down there?

NOTICE:

The game is in VERY early stages of development. The current playable prototype begins on the Surface and ends at the Layer 2 gate. It is an ongoing passion  project, with Layer 1 currently receiving the most development attention.
