A Fusion of Horror and Nostalgia
Drawing inspiration from classic survival horror games of the PlayStation 1 era and unexpected sources like Star Fox 64, Death In Abyss offers a unique blend of terror and nostalgia. Players navigate through a dark, foreboding ocean filled with bioluminescent brains and other monstrous inhabitants. The game's mechanics invite players to engage in relentless combat while also enjoying whimsical moments, such as the submarine's charming backstroke movement.
Influences and Expectations
Agelvik's previous works, including Gun Devil and Lulu's Temple, set the tone for Death In Abyss, combining elements of horror with a distinct artistic style. Additionally, the game draws inspiration from titles like Devil Daggers and the anime series Made In Abyss, promising a captivating yet potentially unsettling experience for players.
What Lies Ahead
Scheduled for a demo release in July, Death In Abyss aims to captivate horror enthusiasts with its unique take on underwater terror. For those intrigued by the game's premise, Underspace, another oceanic adventure game, offers a sprawling open-world experience filled with similar aquatic horrors.
