About ABYSM - Dive the Deep Sea
ABYSM is a calm, free-swim dive from the sunlit surface all the way down to the bottom of the ocean - the 10,935 m Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. There are no goals, no timers, and no combat. Just you, a headlamp, and the slow weightless drift downward through five real ocean zones, meeting the strange and beautiful creatures that actually live at each depth. WHAT YOU GET - A continuous descent from the surface to the deepest point on Earth - 75 real sea creatures placed at their true depths, each with a one-line fact - 8 real ocean landmarks to find on the way down - the RMS Titanic, the USS Johnston, the Challenger Deep, and more - Five depth zones, from the warm Sunlight Zone to the crushing, lightless Hadal Zone - A headlamp that carves a glowing circle out of the darkening deep - Breach the surface like a dolphin, then sink back into the blue - Original pixel art, procedurally generated ambient audio, and gentle haptics - Full game-controller support, or a simple on-screen joystick - Playable in 16 languages A QUIET KIND OF GAME ABYSM is meant to be played slowly. Put on headphones, turn the lights down, and just descend. The deeper you go, the darker, colder, and stranger it gets - until the anglerfish, the giant squid, and the things that have never seen the sun. DIVE IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Arabic. FREE TO START Dive free from the surface down to 1,000 m - the Sunlight and Twilight zones, with 35 creatures to meet. A one-time purchase, "Unlock the Deep," opens the rest of the descent: the Midnight, Abyss, and Hadal zones down to the 10,935 m trench floor, with 40 more creatures and the deep landmarks. One purchase, forever. No subscriptions, no ads. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account or login - No ads, and no advertising or cross-app tracking - Your dive's depth and position are saved only on your device - RevenueCat receives an anonymous app-user ID, purchase/entitlement information, and basic technical information needed to provide and validate the one-time unlock. It is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.

ABYSM is now open source under the MIT license. The title screen links to the code on GitHub, where you can also report a bug or request a feature. VoiceOver reads every title-screen button, the in-game controls and the depth read-out in your language. VoiceOver no longer lands on hidden buttons, such as the pause menu while it is closed. When you resume a dive, the headlamp button is ready from the first moment. Updated Instagram and Product Hunt links.
