How to Play
ABYSS is an idle game about deep-sea exploration. Send your team into the depths, wait for them to return, and raise the creatures they catch in your tank.
The tank is your home screen. All the creatures you've caught live here. Tap a creature to see its details.
Use the menu at the bottom to access expeditions, the creature dex, equipment upgrades, rankings, and settings.
Choose your companions (up to 2 creatures) and a target depth. Deeper waters hold rarer creatures, but the danger also increases.
Once launched, just wait. Expeditions continue even if you close the app. Shallow runs take about an hour; the deepest dives can take up to 11 hours.
When the team returns, review the report. You'll see what creatures were caught, what junk was found, and how your companions fared.
Creatures in your tank get hungry over time. Feed them before they starve (30G per feeding).
Every creature you catch is recorded in the dex. Your ultimate goal: discover all 67 deep-sea species. Reach "The Promised Depth" at 15,000m.
If you have two creatures of the same species, you can fuse them to rank up. Each rank increases stats by 10% (max rank 3 = +++). The material creature is lost in the process, so choose carefully.
Visit other players' tanks from the ranking screen. Your visit leaves a "footprint," and you can feed their creatures once per day. Check who visited your tank from the settings screen.
Items can drop during expeditions. You also receive them from daily login bonuses and milestone rewards.
