Abyss Crossroads: Roguelike

Abyss Crossroads — a dark fantasy roguelike you can finish in five minutes.

Ten floors lie beneath you. Each one offers two or three paths. Battle, or treasure. A curse, or a moment of rest. A trap, or something worse. The signs point the way, but they promise nothing. Only your choices carve the road into the deep.

■ FEATURES

【Runs that last five to eight minutes】

• Built for a commute, a break, the minutes before sleep
• Death costs you nothing but the run. Begin again at once
• No account required. Play the moment it opens

【Four classes, four different games】

• Warrior — high vitality. Ironwall turns one killing blow aside
• Mage — fragile, but the Tome of Flame strikes far harder
• Rogue — reads traps, slips past them, survives on positioning
• Paladin — balanced in attack and defence. Prayer of the Aegis mends his own wounds (unlocked with Coins earned through play)

【Events, and the choices they force】

• Battle, treasure, healing springs, merchants, traps, cursed altars, discovered items, empty rooms
• The Infernal Pact. The Devil's Bargain. The Sealed Door. Every gift asks for something back
• The emoji hints are a guess, never a guarantee. Read the room, then commit

【Floor bosses and second forms】

• The Dragon Zombie waits on the fifth floor, and its poison lingers
• Gardan, Lord of the Nether, holds the tenth — shielded in darkness, and he does not fall in one shape
• The Ironclad Ogre on the third, the Shadow Assassin on the seventh. Elite encounters that punish carelessness

【The curse system】

• Take power, and take the rot that comes with it
• Bleeding, Withering, Avarice, Frailty. The reckless hand decides the run

【Coins and achievements】

• Every run pays out, whether you win or die. Depth is progress
• Six achievements grant bonus Coins
• Spend what you have gathered to unlock the Paladin

【High scores and online rankings】

• Your best run is kept on the device
• Compete on per-class leaderboards against other players
• Sign in with Google or Apple to carry your record to a new phone

【Bought once. That is all】

• No advertisements
• No in-app purchases. Coins come from playing, and only from playing
• Every boss, every event, every corner of the game is included

【Dark fantasy, throughout】

• Cinzel typography, cut for the solemn
• Black and gold, and very little else
• Music and sound built for the weight of the place

■ FOR PLAYERS WHO

• Want a roguelike that respects a short session
• Enjoy the tension of an irreversible choice
• Are tired of advertisements and gacha monetisation
• Are drawn to dark fantasy
• Have a few minutes and want them to count

■ HOW TO PLAY

1. Choose a class — Warrior, Mage, Rogue, and in time the Paladin
2. Choose a path — one of two or three
3. Resolve what you find — a battle, a hoard, a wound closed, a bargain struck
4. Kill the floor boss and descend
5. Reach the tenth floor, and end Gardan

The Abyss tests you at every crossroads. Choose.
