No More Robots, a publishing label known for titles like Descenders, Hypnospace Outlaw, and Yes, Your Grace, has partnered with Konafa Games to unveil their latest project, Starless Abyss. This turn-based deckbuilder combines Lovecraftian elements with roguelike mechanics, inviting players into a chilling adventure through space. Players assume the role of a "Promixa," a human or entity awakened from years of stasis, tasked with defeating the powerful Outer Gods that have invaded their reality.
In Starless Abyss, players command a fleet of ships as they navigate through nightmarish cosmic horrors. Successful missions yield various rewards, including artifacts to enhance their ships, D.I.C.E to influence crucial moments, and cards from different factions. This card-collecting mechanic allows for endless combinations and strategies, enabling players to assemble powerful decks capable of battling the eldritch monstrosities that threaten their existence.
However, the journey is fraught with peril. As players draw closer to the Outer Gods, their sanity wanes. They must choose whether to resist the encroaching madness or embrace it, gaining access to potent Ritual Cards that harness the dark powers of the occult. Balancing the risk of losing their minds while wielding such formidable abilities adds a thrilling layer to the gameplay.
With three acts per run, Starless Abyss promises a wealth of content, including numerous tentacled boss encounters and over 160 unique cards. Players can explore different strategies by unlocking and mastering five distinct Proximas, each with their own skills and attributes. The combination of deck-building mechanics and strategic combat ensures that no two playthroughs will feel the same.
The ultimate goal is clear: defend Earth and eradicate the Outer Gods before it's too late. As players delve into the depths of this cosmic abyss, they must prepare for an experience that is as exhilarating as it is terrifying. May they be granted the strength to face the madness ahead.
