A.B.Y.S.S.
Story A newly discovered underwater trench holds secrets waiting to be uncovered. Your mission: descend, explore, and scan the unknown to help humanity learn about this untouched world beneath the waves. Maybe there is something hidden at the bottom?
How to Play Scan points of interest and marine life by pointing your flashlight, guided by your radar. Scanning earns credits, unlocking deeper zones and advanced scanners to discover new points of interest. Uncover all key locations to win!
Everything Changes Not only your discoveries reshape humanity's understanding of the ocean. But venturing too deep or taking damage scrambles your controls, making navigation unpredictable. Return to your ship base to heal, restore controls, and purchase upgrades at the ship to enhance your exploration.
So unlock new scanners and venture down to see what lies in the ABYSS.
Controls
- Movement UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT (W A S D)
- Action: Activate objects or toggle flashlight (E)
- Point your flashlight (Mouse)
- Open in-game menu (ESC)
Or are they? Controls alter when your submarine gets damaged and are always displayed in the HUD, so they’re never truly the same —and might I say, everything changes.
UI
Known bugs:
- Scanning may not start at times; retoggle your flashlight to fix this (ensure you’ve unlocked the appropriate scanner).
- Dying from going too deep resets controls to WASD and E, but one key may display incorrectly. Visit the ship nearby to fix it.
Tips and Tricks:
Skip this if you’d rather discover mechanics on your own! :D
- The ship not only functions as a shop for upgrades but also acts as a save point for your progress.
- Turning off your flashlight prevents enemy fish from chasing you.
- Use the in-game menu (ESC) to reset to your last save if needed.
- To efficiently navigate the trench, follow the rightmost wall for a quick, obstacle-free descent.
- The radar highlights the closest point of interest but may also point to ones requiring scanners you haven’t unlocked.
- While you can’t scan the same fish twice, you can scan multiple fish of the same species.
- If a fish bites you, it goes back to it's home location.
