About Project Absentia

Project Absentia is a retro FPS inspired by 2000s-2010s flash animations and sprite comics, with vertical, aerial, elemental combat as the main focus.
You play as Abby, an angel who has been captured by the Orkan Corporation, along with her girlfriend Aurora, and her best friend Orion. You break free of your captors, but your friends are still captive. Armed with only a Tommy Gun, your gliding abilities and your wits, you must jump and glide and move around to get the high ground against your enemies. They don't know who they're messing with, and no one messes with Abby.
  • Huge levels focused on emulating physical locations - lived-in mines, castles, apartments, entertainment districts, derelict ships and more.
  • A huge armory - tons of weapons lying around. Use the Hailer to freeze your enemies. Missile Launchers blow your enemies apart. Drain health with the man-eating plant known as Blitzcraig. Use the trusty double-barreled shotgun to shred your foes. Oh, and make 'em taste the rainbow with the Rainbowitzer. Just to name a few!
  • Interactive elements - vending machines, breakable glass, mini-golf, water coolers, mirrors, just to name a few! Feel free to play with the environment.
  • Fully voice acted cast - with a broad cast of characters
  • Accessibility options - subtitles, speech control, adjustable FOV, and so much more.

DeviantArt, if it were a game. The main character is of course a black dwarf woman with angel wings and a tommy gun whose magazine is flatter than an A4 sheet of paper. The story is completely ridiculous and extremely fun to watch play through, it's like watching the Titanic sink on a safe distance. the gameplay is surprisingly solid and actually entertaining at times and I would actually recommend playing it, it's like playing through an episode of Twilight Zone or Black Mirror.

It's short but yet fun, it's pretty much a parody of all the iconic FPS games. For the price you really can't criticize it much. If you like what you see, enjoy FPS game just pick it up have fun.

...Welp, I got little to say than [b] It's top-notch![/b] Almost every aspect (especially the gameplay and design) betrays what I originally thought to be a 14yo flash-fever dream and it is, instead, and [u]utterly[/u] well design piece of digital enterteinment: level design, gameplay (again, really surprised me, as well the picking-weapon system) and even the story (which, considering the goal of creating something that could be done in the flash games golden era) is gorgeous, and show real skill and know-how (I trust the devs are all part of the active doom community). If we have to be picky, I'd say some voice lines and the change of tones in the second ep could have been better. Still, for evey FPS fan out there (not just boomer shooter or doom mod enthusiasts) is almost a must have!

pretty cool doom conversion with the esthetics of like 2006 newgrounds.
Not recommended Jul 24, 2026
This has to be one of the worst game i played this year. there are way better games that uses the Gzdoom engine. the visuals of the game looks so boring. very bland. the main character is so smug, I hate her looks, voice (her voice is like sandpaper to my ears i can't stand it), personality, and her overall features as a character. overall i do not have any positive things to say about this game. I would not recommend it to any of my pals.

Simple and fun shooter. With a fun protagonist and other characters. A bit easier than the typical modern *ZDoom scene stuff. But you can dial up the challenge sufficiently high if you want that.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
