About Inner Abyss

You play as Damian; a disgraced Knight Templar forcefully bound to a powerful entity. Together you hunt underground, demon-worshipping cults in a grimdark city. To defeat the cultists you will have to use your combat skills and supernatural abilities to stop them before they summon terrible creatures into our world.

A challenging third-person combat game. Strong enemies and low health and resources can make it feel like the odds are against you. However, by utilizing various combos and using timing and the strategy you can swiftly disperse anything or anyone in your way. Explore a dark gothic environment to uncover Red Haven's secrets, and find hidden paths along the way. Keep in mind; those who enter the abyss, may never escape.

Engaging Flow


The combat is structured around rewarding those risk takers with good timing. Don't be shy! Find your opening and introduce them to your demon infested sword. There are very few defensive moves you can make, aside from dodging, so your best bet is trying to enter what we like to call, the flow. Chain your attacks, string them from one enemy to the other and position yourself up close and personal. You'll become a cultist slayer in no time.

Close the Distance


Malia is out for blood, be best not to keep her waiting. Activate your warp attack and blink towards a cultist to land a quick strike with style. This consumes ones of your two tokens. If your left with no tokens, you can no longer perform this move. Luckily, defeating a cultist will instantly recharge a token. In other words, be sure to finish the fights you start.

Need a boost?


Dodging will be your best bet at avoiding an attack. However, did you know that by timing your dodge right before the attack lands you can activate a perfect dodge? Doing so will light up your sword. Aside from making you look like a badass, during a limited amount of time any attacks you land on an enemy will gradually give you health. The best defense, has always been good offense.

Enter the Abyss


Inner Abyss explores a unique blend of dark gothic fantasy and the early industrial revolution. Clouds of soot dulls the city in a constant dark fog, and the streets are dotted with both oil and electric lamps desperately trying to light up the moldy brick streets. Few are the people who wander the streets, especially at night. For not only is the very air poisonous, but a brooding evil has taken hold. A dreading sense of unease taints the atmosphere - a pressure about to pop. Something is coming, and whatever it is, it’s malevolent.

An Entry-Level Soulslike


We at Paradice Entertainment are huge fans of the soulsborne genre and we believe we have captured the essence while giving it an interesting twist. Condensing all the epic highs into one blast of an experience. Contrary to the more lengthy and practice heavy playthroughs of the genre, we give a soulsborne experience to those who may not have much spare-time.

this was a student project and indie game that i picked up in the free to play section when looking for souls games. i was pleasantly surprised. this might be one of the best student projects, if not the best one i've played for a souls game! it's decently polished, the voice acting isn't bad and the world looks pretty good! i like the bloodborne/vampyr vibe this game gave off...im not sure if that's where the inspiration came from but this game 100% reminded me of both of those games. the ability is sweet, the weapons are cool, the animations are solid. all around i can't complain, the game was very short as it was meant to be a project but i was happy with the little over an hour playtime! good job to this student and screw the mixed reviews people expect to much. this was pretty good!!!

A lot of potential with this one, but it's very poorly optimized, janky, and feels stiff. Avoid until it gets a major overhaul. The voice work was pretty good, though.

Sloppy, unfinished and constantly fighting with the camera controls. 2/10

This needs a lot of work. The city (?) is big but filled with nothing. The controls are not good. Fighting is a pain. There is dialogue but so what? This feels like a very, very early start of a game. I don't feel like I'm playing a game, I feel like I'm a tester for a game that ultimately won't get made.......

[h1]Before I played Inner Abyss, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
