ABOUT

Play as Nia, a newly formed ocean spirit brought into existence in a sea
smothered by pollution and death. With no life remaining, Nia must restore
The Abyss by destroying trash, clearing oil spills, revitalizing the seafloor,
and cultivating new ecosystems for marine life to return to.

The Abyss is divided into interconnected ecosystems, each with central hubs
surrounded by outer zones of pollution. Restore each zone, earn the trust of
its marine life, and watch them join your home hub as part of a growing,
living ecosystem.

KEY FEATURES

- Cleanup and Restoration: Remove pollution, destroy trash, and clear oil
  spills to revitalize the seafloor and unlock new zones.

- Farming and Cultivation: Plant seeds and cultivate ocean flora. Discover
  vibrant plant life that attracts new marine creatures and unlocks new paths
  deeper into The Abyss.

- Creature Collecting: Earn the trust of marine life with distinct
  personalities, behaviors, and abilities. Some consume trash to accelerate
  cleanup; others unlock paths to new areas.

- Ecosystem Management: Balance herbivore and carnivore dynamics and find
  ways for competing species to coexist and thrive together in your growing
  habitat.

- Ecological Puzzles: Solve increasingly complex challenges that deepen as
  each zone is restored.

- Uncover a Forgotten World: Descend through layers of human history and
  piece together the secrets of what happened before Nia came into existence.

- Dreamlike Atmosphere: Hand-drawn aquatic life, stylized 3D environments,
  and an original lo-fi soundtrack create a soothing, immersive experience.
