Dead Abyss

⠀

"Dead Abyss" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Dead Abyss", which is intended to be sold incrementally either as a separate full product or through DLC to this... except given they haven't touched this for 6 months, and nobody bothered playing their advert, it's unlikely that will ever happen. Dead Abyss is a basic Unreal kitbash, someone took a bunch of Unreal assets and dropped them on a first person horror adventure game template. This advert for it is just a shallow tech demo to prove that yes, it is possible to take other people's assets, put them on someone else's game template, and then call yourself a game developer. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Dead Abyss, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct yet unreleased product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games…

didn't like, too dark, spungebob sees through cabinets, no clear what to do

Dead Abyss is a horror game that immediately caught my attention because of its setting. I am exploring the wreck of a huge abandoned ship that disappeared decades earlier, searching for salvage while slowly uncovering why the vessel met such a strange fate. I really liked the idea of exploring a rusting ship in the middle of nowhere because it gives the horror a very strong sense of isolation. The exploration is built around searching the ship for clues and solving environmental puzzles. I move through different sections of the wreck, inspect objects and gradually piece together what happened. I enjoyed having to pay attention to the surroundings because the story is spread through the environment rather than simply being explained to me in long conversations. The creature encounters are where the game becomes much more tense. I cannot simply fight the threat whenever I want, so survival depends on hiding in lockers, staying underneath desks and running when there is no other option. I liked that decision because it makes the ship itself part of the survival strategy. Knowing a hiding place is nearby can completely change how I approach a corridor. Managing my breathing is anot…

this game is really it has lots of glitches even fell through the floor just end the game after that happened.

With no sense or direction my character was finally ended by a glob conglomeration of sea jetsam.
