"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

Publishing label No More Robots (Descenders, Hypnospace Outlaw, Yes, Your Grace) and development studio Konafa Games are excited to reveal Starless Abyss, a turn-based deckbuilder that's Eld-rich in lovecraftian flair and roguelike elements.

Honestly, you've shogot to give this one a go. Players take on the role of a "Promixa", a human or entity held in stasis for years and now finally released with the goal to defeat the ‘Outer Gods’ which have ripped through space and time.

Watch the Announcement Trailer...
