Endless Abyss is a space exploration game meant to be an easier to learn version of more hardcore space sims. Explore a set of procedural generated planets, take in the views, and complete various missions, all the while locating resource caches to craft new gear. Do keep an eye on your surroundings, though, as things aren’t always as they seem on first inspection… 

Features:

• Large, varied, and optimized procedural spherical planet generation
• 3 hand-crafted ships with complex systems, offering experienced players a bit of skill expression (around 75 or so individual buttons that do different things)
• Multiple alternate modes of transport (Hoverbike, Rover)
• Crafting (are we survival horror yet?)
• Terrain sampling and research, complete with semi accurate geological data*
• Godot plushie to punt into the void
• Story missions
• Some very esoteric secrets (for all the Voices of the Void lovers out there <3)
• Custom music player and posters
• Vistas to contemplate your existence while looking at
• Runs on a potato

*I am not a geologist, but I've tried to keep things fairly accurate :3

The game is in a *very* early stage, and the update on here is the first one to add missions, the third ship, and a lot of other features, so please drop by the discord or the comments if you find any bugs or have any ideas! Thank you to everyone who helped make this project real, I’m a solo dev who’s just been doing this for fun and it’s turned into a much bigger project than I ever expected. Thanks and have fun :3

MacOS note: If the game gives you an error related to it being a potential virus, run this command thru terminal:

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine <PATH TO APP>

For the path you can just drag the app into the terminal window.

Linux note: The game runs well through wine/proton. To run the game via proton (on steam) click on the button that says "add non steam game" and find Endless Abyss. Then, go to the game properties, find comparability, and check "Force use of a specific steam play compatibility tool". It should work from there. If it still doesn't work, ask in the bugs-demo-help channel of the discord or the itch io comments. <3
