End of Abyss stands out at Summer Game Fest 2025 amidst a genre filled with souls-like games. Developed by Section 9 Interactive, comprising ex-Tarsier Studio members, it draws inspiration from Dark Souls and the atmosphere of Little Nightmares. Unlike typical genre offerings, it features a voiceless protagonist resisting grotesque monsters using diverse weaponry, including a pistol and shotgun. The game encourages strategic movement and shooting mechanics, escalating tension as players combat uniquely designed foes, making it an engaging experience in a horror-infused sci-fi world.
"End of Abyss takes a few touchstones from games like Dark Souls, ties it in with a Little-Nightmares-in-space aesthetic, and brings it all together in a cleverly creepy twin-stick shooter."
"The Little Nightmares influence can definitely be felt in End of Abyss... there's something about it that feels familiar. Maybe it's the nameless, voiceless character being chased by fleshy monsters."
