Unveiling ‘Luna Abyss’ at Gamescom

Gamescom 2023 is set to welcome a fresh narrative-driven first-person action-adventure titled ‘Luna Abyss’. Developed by the dedicated team at Bonsai Collective, this remote game development studio is all set to introduce a brand new trailer, offering an enticing glimpse into the world of ‘Luna Abyss’.

Introducing Aylin and Fawkes: Two Intriguing Characters

In this upcoming title, the spotlight is on two pivotal characters, Aylin and Fawkes. The newly unveiled trailer grants a sneak peek into the roles these characters will play within the rich lore of ‘Luna Abyss’. Aylin stands as the player’s guide, aiding them as they traverse the diverse and captivating environments that define the heart of the Luna Abyss. As players embark on their journey, they’ll be tasked with unraveling the enigmatic secrets of this mimic moon-turned prison planet, including the chasm lurking within its depths.

Step outside your cell, and you’ll find Aylin, the governor of the Blood Moon Penal Colony, ready to offer her guidance. Following the directives of the enigmatic All-Father, Aylin’s primary duty is to support and guide the Scouts under her care. Yet, her somewhat unconventional understanding of humans sometimes leads to decisions that raise eyebrows.

Enter the character of Fawkes, a prisoner incarcerated on the Blood Moon for bearing the distinctive red eyes that mark the Marked Ones. Alone and far from home, Fawkes’s sole aim is to survive their sentence in this unforgiving environment. However, the Abyss harbors many secrets, and unwary Scouts might stumble upon truths better left untouched.

Crafting a Narrative-Driven Experience

Benni Hill, Creative Director at Bonsai Collective, exclaims, “The story is an important part of the Luna Abyss experience that Bonsai Collective have been crafting, so it’s really great to finally be able to put it front and center in this brand new trailer. We can’t wait to show the game to more of our peers at Gamescom.”
