## What is ABYSS?

Every Sigil you play stays.

ABYSS is a turn-based deckbuilder built around one rule. A Sigil you play
does not go to the discard pile — it enters a queue of three slots, and
every card in that queue fires again at the end of every turn.

So playing a Sigil pushes one out. The engine you spent five turns building
can be undone by the card in your hand right now — every play is also a
choice about what you give up. The queue even fights on its own: there is
an achievement for winning a fight without playing a single card.

  - Three heroes who each treat the queue differently: hold it still,
    arrange it, or empty it as fast as possible
  - Eighty-seven cards and forty-five relics, seventeen of which
    rewrite the queue's rules outright
  - Four acts, twenty depths of difficulty, and a final boss that turns
    your own echoes against you
  - Forty Game Center achievements. Signing in is optional — everything
    works offline
  - No ads, no purchases, no account, no network. You buy it once and it
    is yours, offline, forever.

Runs take twenty to forty minutes. It is built for a phone, in portrait,
one thumb.

Accessibility: reduce flashes, disable screen shake, and three animation
speeds — all in Settings.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-21

This update is for the ones who have already finished the abyss.

- Each character now shows their deepest cleared depth and their cycle count on the select screen
- Three new relics that only appear from a second cycle onward: Second Dawn, Mourner's Bell, Deep Engraving
- A character who has finished the abyss can stand behind another character's run: the Warden's ward reduces damage taken, the Arcanist's ward grants Block at combat start, the Reaper's ward raises damage dealt

Everything here applies from your next new descent. A run already in progress continues exactly as it was, and clears from before this update are restored from the record book kept on your device.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-09-14

No release notes.
