Pale Abyss

Pale Abyss is a first-person exploration game set in the depths of a vast chasm called the Pale Abyss, a wound in the earth that swallows what it touches. Its pale light has taken and corrupted the world’s warm, golden sunlight. You explore the depths, battle strange creatures with melee combat and magic, and search for long-lost weapons, spells and consumables to help you survive.

Explore the depths

The game uses an old-school visual style inspired by early 3D games, with jittering, shifting polygons and a nostalgic CRT-screen aesthetic alongside more modern gameplay.

Shape your character

Choose from six starter classes, each with a different origin. Your character’s stats and level-ups let you shape how you fight. The Otherworldly Influence System also responds to your actions in combat and exploration: as you descend, your mind and body shift toward either the Abyssal or the Occult. Otherworldly forces offer secrets and powers, but engaging with them can also reveal unfamiliar dangers.

Asynchronous multiplayer

Use Chatter Pebbles to communicate with other delvers and leave cryptic messages for other players to find. As you explore, you can also sense faint echoes of their journeys.

Demo content

Pale Abyss is currently a short demo with about one hour of playtime.
