Into the Abyss is a __digging-focused__ platformer where exploration goes straight down. Your mission: __reach the bottom__, __uncover the truth__ behind the abyss, and do it as fast as you can, after all you can get a worth treasure. But be careful, watch out for those treacherous __traps__ set by who knows anyway.
___Dig Your Own Path___: Break through dirt, stone, and ancient ruins with your pickaxe. You decide where to go—no set paths, no shortcuts.
___Find Hidden Treasures___: Scattered along the descent are lost treasure chests filled with rare materials, secrets, and boosts. Getting them isn't easy—but it’s worth it.
