Buy Path of the Abyss PC key

Path of the Abyss is a single-player, first-person, grid-based dungeon exploration RPG. You customize a character and explore dungeons drawn in black-and-white pen style, seeking mysteries and loot as you make your way toward the deepest level.

Story

In a forgotten ruin in East Weltden, sightings of terrifying monsters have become frequent despite the site having been robbed countless times. Adventurers who dismissed the reports and entered the ruins to prove their courage never returned. An investigation team sent by the Lord of East Weltden met a bloody end, and rumors of the ruin have drawn skilled adventurers to the region. You are one of them.

Explore the dungeons

The world consists of one giant dungeon and several smaller ones. You uncover their mysteries, strengthen your characters and push toward the deepest depths.

Build your characters

You customize a character’s eight abilities, five basic stats, skills and gear. You also build your party by arranging its characters’ skills in a shared Formation Panel of nine panels. Some skills have synergistic effects, so their placement can help them complement one another.

Real-time combat

Combat runs in real time, but you can pause at any moment. You can inspect the attacks enemies intend to use, choose appropriate skills, buff allies, intercept attacks and plan other tactics, then resume combat. Encounters revolve around repeating this pause, choose and unpause sequence.

Before combat, you assign the skills you want to use to the nine panels of the Formation Panel. The skills you choose and where you place them greatly affect the outcome, so you must work within the limited number of panels shared by the party.
