I’ve been working on Abaddon, (a first person Lovecraftian horror game) for Almost 4 years now, this journey has been amazing, I can’t believe It’s almost ready for release! If you are into horror games please consider wishlisting it as it helps me out a lot! Thank you all so much for the support ❤️

There are two upcoming games with the title “Abaddon” in the store. Both are horror fps.
Were you aware of this?
I put the one that looks like yours on my wish list.
Yep someone decided to name their game Abaddon also (my game page and demo was up at least a year before) I have no idea why steam would allow two games with the exact same name 🤷🏽♂️
Thank you so much for checking it out and wishlisting it! It helps a lot!
Quick feedback on the experience of casually browsing to your steam page: the trailer that autoplays spends the first ~20s being mostly just black. First person view of running and then hiding in a closet, then black, then a very dimly lit room, with cuts to what looks like the player inspecting a doll. I can’t have sound on right now, so I don’t know if there is interesting audio happening.
I highly recommend those first few seconds of the autoplay trailer showing something more compelling. IMO the best case outcome for someone in my shoes is, I see something in those first few seconds that makes me go “oooo, hell yeah, that looks interesting” and I click Add to Wishlist. Instead my first thought was “there’s no way this has just been black for 20s” and checked my brightness settings to see if I was missing something.
Hi thank you for checking it out and thank you for the feedback!
I am working on a new trailer at the moment, Although I must say, I think you might have a bug, there are no more than 3 consecutive seconds where it’s all just black, it may show things differently on some devices.
Either way this trailer is temporary, I’m not that good at marking / trailers and stuff, and I know it is very important.
Will try to put up a more impressive trailer soon , thanks again 🙏🏽
There is an old game with the same name, just so you know. https://www.myabandonware.com/game/abaddon-bwy
Yep I found out about it once it was too late to change the name haha, did you play it?
No, pretty sure I haven’t played it, but the name rang a bell. Probably because alphabetically it shows up pretty early when you’re looking for games back on the 'ol warez listings.
Was this in any way inspired by Hell House? I’m only asking because of the name Abaddon. Haha. I’ll check this out once it is released!
It was not, although I do have it on my watch list after a lot of people mentioned it to me 😂
Thank you for the interest! I appreciate it 🙏🏽
What engine did you use?
Unity
Wishlisted!
