Abyss Drifter is an atmospheric space courier game about survival, navigation and isolation.
Humanity once relied on AI to wage its wars. It didn’t end well.
After a near-collapse, advanced AI was banned, leaving distant colonies cut off from Earth. Without it, long-distance space travel became slow, dangerous — and deeply human.
You are a courier in one of these forgotten systems.
Take on delivery contracts or trade goods between planets and stations. Navigate using your instruments, plan your routes, and survive the journey through a harsh and unforgiving environment.
Your ship is your home — and your lifeline.
Space is not forgiving.
You’ll need to prepare for every journey — manage your resources, take care of your health, and make sure your ship is ready.
Out here, mistakes are costly.
