ABYSS - Deep Sea Expedition Log

Even where light cannot reach, life exists. An idle game about deep-sea exploration. 路 By Quatrex

Unsure what to do

I've sent my mackerel on several (5) expeditions by now but other than leveling my horse mackerel I don't seem to progress. ^_^

Obviously I need gold, but I don't know how to get gold. I assume I can find new companions which I can sell? But so far either the chance is very low, or I got super unlucky.


I am enthusiastic of the idea of a Slow Idle Game. Something to check in twice a day to only do a few actions, but currently I'm very confused >.<

Hi JanoschExe, thank you for playing ABYSS!


Gold can be obtained by selling junk items that your companion finds during expeditions. Keep sending your companion out, and they'll bring back various items you can sell.


This game does require some patience — it's designed to be a slow, relaxing experience. Please take your time and enjoy the journey at your own pace. :)


Also, I've recently added a tutorial expedition for new players. If you'd like to try it, you can reset your data from the settings and start fresh. The tutorial will guide you through the basics in a short expedition.


Happy exploring!

Thank you very much for your reply. I was at a point where one more failed expedition would've starved my fish, so maybe some initial balancing in the players favour could help. Looking forward to discovering more about this game :)

Thanks for the heads up!

I'll tweak the early-game balance a bit. And just between us — your fish won't actually die from hunger. They stop at 1 HP no matter what. 馃か
