Welcome to the demo page for That Abysmal Place

That Abysmal Place is a 2D horror roguelite currently very early in development. This page is for showcasing the various demos that we use for testing and feedback.

Note that these are early pre-alpha builds, as such you may encounter bugs or optimisation issues.

Movement and Combat demo

The purpose of this demo is to garner feedback on the controls and overall feel of the game mechanics. Your feedback is valuable and will help us make That Abysmal Place the best experience possible. Comments can be left on the Itch page or in our Discord.

Level Generation demo

This demo is designed to showcase the procedural level generation functionality which would form the basis of most of the game's levels.

Warning

Despite being demos, these trials are not for the faint-hearted or weak-willed. You will be forced to experience unpleasant scenarios and encounter uncomfortable things. Your playthrough may differ from other players.

We recommend playing with the lights down and the volume up.

Tips

• Dodging during an attack will cancel the attack.
• Crouching on a platform will cause you to drop through it.
• Ropes will automatically be placed at the appropriate points, allowing you to descend down further into the level.

Known issues

• Large framerate drops may cause issues with the rope physics or other unexpected behaviour.
• Player is sometimes incorrectly positioned on the rope.
• Player is able to swap weapons mid-attack, causing strange behaviour.
• Animation notifications for looping animations become out of sync, causing things to trigger at the wrong time (e.g. climbing movement speed).
• Creatures may unexpectedly collide with objects in the level.
• Room backgrounds will occasional clip through each other.
• Various other animation glitches.
