About Project Abyss
Project Abyss is a pixel-loving 2D survival RPG that takes place in the deepest place on Earth. Using a mixture of realism and fun, you control a diver and mini-submarine as you explore a living world of beautiful and deadly sea life, wreckages and enemy subs. Loot money for upgrades, complete tasks, unlock other submarines, and uncover more of the mystery deep below.
Utilise your equipment in a stylish blend of combat and beautiful aquatic moments, with a great original soundtrack and ambient sounds; we have created a living, breathing underwater world in pixel art graphics, with it's own day/night cycle. Much of the world is destructible, from blowing up wreckage doors with C4, to drilling and torpedoing your way through rock for fuel cells and chests.
There is a lot to see and do, with many hours of open gameplay!

Project Abyss is praised for its atmospheric exploration, detailed environments, and relaxing gameplay once players adjust to the controls. However, players frequently encounter technical issues and bugs that detract from the experience, with controller support being particularly problematic for aiming and combat.
Project Abyss is a submarine exploration game with light combat and RPG elements. Dive into the depths to discover loot, use the income from loot to buy upgrades. Once I got past what felt like a battle with the controls this game is actually a pretty fun and chill game. I loved exploring the environments, every landmark was detailed, unique and interesting. Big if however, the amount of problems I ran in were verging on ridiculous for such a short game, and I couldn’t find solutions on the Steam forum or search engines. I have documented some of the issues and workarounds I found in this review.

The game bugged out because I left my controller plugged in while using KB+M.
