Face The Abyss
Released Sep 2024
The experiment has failed. The facility that was supposed to control the monster has stopped working, and now your only hope is to escape the facility before the monster hunts you down.

Evaluation
Face the Abyss is a free-to-play 1v3 asymmetric PvP game developed by Team KGD, a small student team. It launched on September 20, 2024 and received a flurry of patches and developer posts during its first week — balance tweaks, graphics options, and bug fixes through September 27, 2024. That was the last developer communication of any kind.
Two posts from launch week are notable: on September 22, the team apologized for regional compatibility issues and acknowledged they have limited time due to being students. On September 23, they disclosed they were running on free-tier servers and were struggling to handle unexpected traffic, stating they were "looking for solutions." No follow-up on those solutions was ever posted.
Since September 27, 2024, there have been no further patches, announcements, or developer posts of any kind — a silence now spanning more than 20 months. For a multiplayer-only game that depends entirely on active servers and a player base to function, this is a significant concern. The developer's own statements about server cost constraints and limited team capacity, combined with the complete absence of any communication since launch week, makes the current state of the game's active support unclear.
Evidence
Developer disclosed they are using free-tier servers, struggling with costs as a student team, and experiencing server overloads — actively looking for solutions but none were announced.
Developer team described as mostly students with limited time, apologizing for regional support failures and acknowledging limited capacity to fulfill requests.

About this game
Description
'Face the Abyss' is 1 vs 3 PvP game. One player takes on the role of the monster, or 'Stalker', who hunts down the survivors with its powerful psychic abilities. The other three players are the survivors, or 'Crew', who must find a way to escape.Indoor Chase
The Stalker chases the Crew through a narrow and complex facility, relying on sound and terrain features. The Crew must overcome and utilize the limitations of restricted vision in this complex indoor environment to achieve their goal.Escape scenarios
Escaping the facility won't be simple. The Crew must complete one of the 'escape scenarios' to make their way out. Observe the current situation carefully and figure out the most appropriate way to escape. Cooperate with other Crew members to achieve the goal quickly. Escape the facility before being overwhelmed by the Stalker's abilities.Stalker and Abilites
The Stalker has various abilities at its disposal. Decrease the Crew's sanity with powerful psychic abilities. A Crew member with low sanity is much easier to hunt down. Erode the facility and destroy doors to leave the Crew with nowhere to run.Crew and Items
The Crew can find plenty of items throughout the facility. Use these itmes wisely to delay the Stalker's pursuit and stay alive. Some items are essential for completing escape scenarios.Are these done yet?
