Grim Dao
Three centuries ago the Earth was torn out of the sky and dropped into the Abyssal Rift. The sun did not follow. The fog did.
Now the survivors cultivate the poison that killed their world. They descend, they fight in the dark, they take what the deep will give, and they carry it home through a one-way door, or they do not carry it home at all.
In development. Grim Dao is not yet released. There is nothing to download and nothing to sign up for. This site will grow as the game does.
What it is
Five ways to cultivate
Absorb, Churn, Spike, Pour, Place. Each sect answers the Abyss with a different verb, and plays like it.
A graveyard of worlds
Humanity is not the first to fall through. It is only the latest crop in a field that has been reaped more times than there are stars.
Light is the whole game
The deep is near-black. Lanterns, braziers, spell fire and the wrong-coloured glow of things that should not be there are all that hold it off. Enemy eyes show before enemies do.
It is played from a top-down three-quarter view, with real-time lighting and shadows on 3D geometry.
“The Abyss doesn’t take — it reveals. What it shows you is the question.”
