Credits

Previously the graphics came from some free assets and majority of them have been redrawn from scratch. However, there are still some that are still using the free assets and I also want to give credits to them as they have helped me initially when I am still prototyping the game.

Also if you see something familiar and believe that I have missed out on crediting free assets, do let me know.

Issues

There are some graphical issues on Safari. Not sure how to fix that at the moment.

Dev Note

Explore The Abyss (ETA) is created initially to explore the idea of a inventory based roguelike. However, it have since evolved into a game where I try to generate different type of maps with as little hand crafted pieces as possible. Each levels will eventually have different structures / features to them.

Also note that since this is a prototype, so many of the things here are not final, including the name. Bookmark the game or follow me to get updates on the game.
The game is currently in active developments and updates are posted every week.
