Evaluation

Abandoned Archive launched on November 24, 2025 as a full 1.0 release. Following launch, the developer shipped a series of patches through May 21, 2026, addressing bug fixes, balance adjustments, and small quality-of-life improvements such as controller support and language additions. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store, no announced future content, no roadmap, and no developer statements indicating further planned content. The game appears to have launched as a complete product, with post-launch activity limited to maintenance and polish patches rather than new content. The most recent patch (May 21, 2026) added a Russian language option and fixed minor bugs, consistent with routine post-launch upkeep. The developer has not communicated any plans for expansions, additional content drops, or ongoing content development.

About this game

Abandoned Archive is a uniquely crafted, fast-paced, spellcasting roguelike. Set in an archive that has been long forgotten and sealed away, the player must venture deep below ground to uncover the dark secrets tucked away.

Spells & Relics

Discover the many schools of magic, and utilise their spells to fight your way down the tower you are sealed in. Battle with anything from lightning and air to gravity and time. Becoming powerful requires you to synergise your spells by carefully choosing upgrades and collecting rare relics that offer passive effects to be combined with your finest abilities.

Descend with Oblome

When one day you find yourself sealed in a tower, a strange, sentient Orb proposes a deal. With Oblome the Orbite, who claims to be one with science, you forge onwards in an attempt to escape your imprisonment and find the city of Orbites. Tied to your pact, you must protect Oblome at any cost if any danger arises, and in turn, he will protect you. There is definitely something stowed away, some kind of synthetic horror at the base of this archive. Will you delve deep and decipher the mysteries? Or will you simply succumb to your surroundings?

Story

Set in the country of Gratissia in the tower named “Turrim”, Abandoned Archive has the player exploring fragments of a species’ past, floor by floor. With an exiled ex-scientist as your guide and protector, there seems to just be many burning questions, with answers hiding in the cracks of the archive.
