Luna Abyss Announcement Trailer

Scout the depths of the Abyss using biomechanical wardens. Recover forgotten technology from within the Abyss & the lost colony it consumed. Sprint, jump & dash your way through this brutalist megastructure. And face corrupted souls & twisted cosmic horrors in bullet hell combat.

Luna Abyss Gameplay Trailer

Every move you make will be overseen by your artificial prison guard Aylin. Each mission you complete will reduce your sentence & bring you one step closer to freedom. But these century old ruins are alive with maddening echoes, and the voices of the Abyss call to you...
