Pale Abyss
Descend into the Pale Abyss, a cursed chasm where the forgotten truths of a dying world fester in its depths. Inspired by games such as King’s Field and Shadow Tower, Pale Abyss is a first-person action RPG about exploration and adventure.
Our precious sunlight… taken by that… thing.
The Pale Abyss, they call it. A wound in the earth, an accursed maw that swallows all it touches. And from its depths spills that pale, unholy light. Lay your eyes upon it… Our warm and golden sunlight has been dragged down into that darkness, twisted and defiled. Mocking us with what was taken!
Immersive First-Person "King's Field-Like" Exploration
Master the tactile combat of old school melee and magic when battling strange creatures and traversing the depths. If you want to survive the Pale Abyss, you'll have to fight with every scrap you can find. Long lost weapons, spells and consumables will aid you on your way.
Let the Abyss change your very being with the unique Otherworldly Influence System
In the Pale Abyss the otherworldly beings seem to clash and influence whatever mortal beings dare to descend its vast depths. Your actions in battle and during exploration shape your mind and body as you drift towards either the Abyssal or the Occult. Many secrets and powers are connected to the otherworldly, but when trifling with the eldritch, you might discover unheard of dangers as well...
Beautiful Old-School Aesthetics
Harken back to a simpler time in gaming where the few polygons we had jittered and shifted away as we were in awe of the first instances of 3D on our CRT screens. Pale Abyss combines its more modern gameplay with this nostalgic aesthetic to bring a whole new experience in a familiar form.

Rich Asynchronous Multiplayer

Small team with big aspirations
Our humble team at Permanent Crab Studios consists of one Programmer, one 3D Artist and one Musician. After our award-winning success of creating the Pale Abyss Prototype as a Student Project, we now aspire to create a full game out of that foundation for any Adventure Game enthusiast.
