The puzzle pieces in this game aren't ordinary. They are building blocks, and here's the twist: the part of the image that sits on the studs disappears when the blocks are stacked. This unique mechanic challenges your imagination, because parts of the image appear twice at first – once on the block itself and once on the studs. Only after stacking do you see if everything fits. # Sorting Fun: Your task is to sort colorful bricks correctly and thus decipher words and images. # Surprises await you: Put disassembled pictures back together correctly to unlock new motifs. # Snackable: Aimed at anyone looking for quick, colorful puzzle fun.

About

ABYSM

Features
Read full description

ABYSM is a calm, free-swim dive from the sunlit surface all the way down to the bottom of the ocean - the 10,935 m Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. There are no goals, no timers, and no combat. Just you, a headlamp, and the slow weightless drift downward through five real ocean zones, meeting the strange and beautiful creatures that actually live at each depth. WHAT YOU GET - A continuous descent from the surface to the deepest point on Earth - 75 real sea creatures placed at their true depths, each with a one-line fact - 8 real ocean landmarks to find on the way down - the RMS Titanic, the USS Johnston, the Challenger Deep, and more - Five depth zones, from the warm Sunlight Zone to the crushing, lightless Hadal Zone - A headlamp that carves a glowing circle out of the darkening deep - Breach the surface like a dolphin, then sink back into the blue - Original pixel art, procedurally generated ambient audio, and gentle haptics - Full game-controller support, or a simple on-screen joystick - Playable in 16 languages A QUIET KIND OF GAME ABYSM is meant to be played slowly. Put on headphones, turn the lights down, and just descend. The deeper you go, the darker, colder, and stranger it gets - until the anglerfish, the giant squid, and the things that have never seen the sun.
