Mind the Abyss

Mind the Abyss is a fast-paced first-person movement shooter set on the alien planet Prometheus. As Employee 465, you fight through an eldritch crystal cave system, use an experimental weapon and fourth-dimensional powers, and uncover what happened to the scientists who explored the planet. The planet’s pulse changes the land and affects the biology of those exposed to it, while Employee 465 appears to resist its effects.

The planet Prometheus

After a millennium ship sent by the Sol Fleet reaches Prometheus, the government sends an initial team to study its unusual resources and atmosphere before human relocation. The scientists find plants, fungi, and rock and crystal formations deeper in the planet’s crust. When they drill too deep, the ground sends a pulse through the caverns, reshaping the environments and transforming the scientists into creatures attuned to the planet’s ecosystem. Other creatures emerge from hiding and are affected as well.

Employee 465 wakes in a laboratory, far enough from the pulse to resist its effects. There, they find an experimental weapon made from rare elements in the lower layers of the Abyss. It binds with Employee 465 and gives them the ability to reach into the fourth dimension. As they descend through increasingly uncanny facilities, they and the weapon attune to its changing properties. They must race to uncover the planet’s mysteries and save their corrupted comrades before time runs out.

Fight and move

You face relentless enemies, including native species and scientists who failed to unlock the planet’s secrets. Your alien weapon can transform into four forms: a shotgun, rocket launcher, sniper rifle and sub-machine gun. You also use a fourth-dimensional grappling hook and physics-based movement to cross complex environments, running along walls, launching into the air and sliding around the map.
