Abyss Crossroads: Roguelike

Abyss Crossroads — a dark fantasy roguelike you can finish in five minutes.

Ten floors lie beneath you. Each one offers two or three paths.
Battle, or treasure. A curse, or a moment of rest. A trap, or something worse.
The signs point the way, but they promise nothing.
Only your choices carve the road into the deep.


■ FEATURES

【Runs that last five to eight minutes】
- Built for a commute, a break, the minutes before sleep
- Death costs you nothing but the run. Begin again at once
- No account required. Play the moment it opens

【Five classes, five different games】
- Warrior — high vitality. Ironwall turns one killing blow aside
- Mage — fragile, but the Tome of Flame strikes far harder
- Rogue — reads traps, slips past them, survives on positioning
- Paladin — balanced in attack and defence. Prayer of the Aegis mends his own wounds
(unlocked with Coins earned through play)
- Berserker — the nearer to death, the harder he hits. Bloodrage turns his wounds into strength
(unlocked with Coins earned through play)

【Events, and the choices they force】
- Battle, treasure, healing springs, merchants, traps, cursed altars, discovered items, empty rooms
- The Infernal Pact. The Devil's Bargain. The Sealed Door. Every gift asks for something back
- The emoji hints are a guess, never a guarantee. Read the room, then commit

【Floor bosses and second forms】
- The Dragon Zombie waits on the fifth floor, and its poison lingers
- Gardan, Lord of the Nether, holds the tenth — shielded in darkness, and he does not fall in one shape
- The Ironclad Ogre on the third, the Shadow Assassin on the seventh. Elite encounters that punish carelessness

【The curse system】
- Take power, and take the rot that comes with it
- Bleeding, Withering, Avarice, Frailty. The reckless hand decides the run

【Coins and achievements】
- Every run pays out, whether you win or die. Depth is progress
- Six achievements grant bonus Coins
- Spend what you have gathered to unlock the Paladin and the Berserker

【The Daily Challenge】
- Every day, everyone descends into the same abyss (the same rooms, the same foes, the same relics) and competes on that day's ranking
- One attempt a day. Suspend mid-run and you can pick it up again the same day
- The class changes daily. Even one you have not unlocked is yours to try for the day
- A shorter descent than the usual ten floors: five floors only. The bosses hit harder than usual, and the lineup changes daily, deep bosses included

【High scores and online rankings】
- Your best run is kept on the device
- Compete on per-class leaderboards against other players
- Sign in with Google or Apple to carry your record to a new phone

【Bought once. That is all】
- No advertisements
- No in-app purchases. Coins come from playing, and only from playing
- Every boss, every event, every corner of the game is included

【Dark fantasy, throughout】
- Cinzel typography, cut for the solemn
- Black and gold, and very little else
- Music and sound built for the weight of the place


■ FOR PLAYERS WHO

■ HOW TO PLAY

5. Reach the tenth floor, and end Gardan

The Abyss tests you at every crossroads.
Choose.
