Knight Descending

The Abyss Has No Bottom

Three hundred years ago, the monastery of St. Arden sank into the earth, leaving nothing but a staircase leading down. People called the hole the Abyss, a pit with no bottom. No one has ever seen its floor.

You are the Sworn, the last of a knightly order that vowed to seal it.

The Abyss grows. Its rooms and corridors are built anew for everyone who descends, and every third floor a Warden stands guard. Defeat it, or the stairs stay shut.

Survival Mode

No stairs, no clear objective. One arena, enemies rising from every side, and nothing to do but last. Start in basic gear and survive into ever-deeper floors on nothing but what drops. There is no revive.

• Every minute the floor changes, deeper enemies pour in, and the arena's walls grind into a new shape
  
• A Warden drops in at the end of every depth
  
• A fresh world seed every run: the enemy lineup and the order of the depths differ every time
  
• See where you stand while you're still standing: how many challengers have lasted as long as you, this week and of all time, updates live as you survive
