About the Game

The Abandoned is a short First Person Horror experience where you will solve puzzles and use your abilities to blast through waves of enemies while you uncover the story one chapter at a time.

Chapter 1 : Awakening is included with this purchase of The Abandoned, with the remaining three chapters being released as DLC as they are developed. There are content updates and extra features being added on a regular basis during the evolution of the game.

The player assumes the role of our main character, let's leave him unnamed for now. He is a young man, recently married, but still with a bit of a wild side. After a long weekend night out with a few friends he awakens to find himself on an old dirt path deep in some remote forest. After cursing his friends for dumping him out here, he realizes that the real problem is figuring out where here is and how to get back home.

You will use your new found abilities to blast away waves of supernatural enemies while finding the clues to where you are and the means to get back home.
You will look for keys and items to unlock new rooms in order to progress the story. There are plenty of options to customize your experience, including a darkness level and the ability to disable the enemies if that's your style. You can have a short enjoyable, atmospheric, escape room style game with the enemies turned off.
