CLOSED # PROJECT ABYSS About Project Abyss is a community game collaboration where everyone works together to create one complete Scratch game. Every member is responsible for a different part of development, from programming and art to music and story. Our goal is to create a high-quality underwater exploration game that feels mysterious, immersive, and polished. Story A massive abyss suddenly appears on the ocean floor. Every expedition sent to investigate vanishes without a trace. Years later, a new team is assembled for one final mission. As you descend into the darkness, the ocean begins to change. Strange creatures appear where no life should exist. Ancient ruins lie untouched beneath the waves. The deeper you travel, the more reality itself seems to break apart. What waits at the bottom is something no one was meant to discover. --- ## What We're Looking For We are looking for dedicated members who enjoy working as a team.
