Abyss of Kings

Explore the remnants of an underground civilization and battle sentient chess pieces. Discover magical rings and use them to create your own spells. Meet the last inhabitants of a dead kingdom and escape the Abyss...

After falling into a chasm in the mountains, you descend deeper into a strange cave system. On your journey you will discover many different environments hidden in the darkness. Imposing structures lay buried deep under the earth and treasures are waiting to be found.

All throughout the caverns, sentient chess pieces challenge your grip on reality. At an unrelenting pace they march over the battlefield as you try to outsmart their tactics. You will face them in many different arenas and formations, but don't trust everything you see! Their strategies will evolve and their magic will challenge you in new ways. Be vigilant, for they are not the only threat you will encounter...

As your descend into the caves, you will find many rings of power that can enhance your attacks and affect your weapons. By combining these rings in creative ways, you are able to craft powerful spells that will tip the scales in your favor.

The underground is full of ruins, yet there is no trace of its inhabitants... at first.
Glimmering eyes shine at you from the shadows. Maybe they can tell you more about this place...

Hey there! My name is Nanda and I am making the bulk of this game by myself. Still, I have a ton of help from my composer Narbaiz, as well as many other amazing friends that help me with specific features, feedback, advice and just keeping me sane throughout this journey. On top of that I couldn't be more grateful to my publisher Spelkollektivet. Without them this project just would not be possible and their respect for my creative decisions is an absolute gift. I really hope to make this game something special and take you on a journey. Thank you to everyone who is supporting me or even just gives this game a glance <3
