'Luna Abyss' Shows Off Environments And Variety In First Gameplay Footage - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Dec. 14, 2022 @ 9:56 a.m. PST

Luna Abyss is a narrative-driven, first-person action/adventure game where you discover a vast, derelict colony; deep within the belly of an ominous mimic moon.

Fight twisted cosmic horrors in intense, fast-paced, bullet-hell combat.

With an arsenal of weapons and advanced mobility and traversal mechanics, this bullet-hell FPS will send players into the depths of an unnatural space beneath a fallen colony to face the secrets, horrors, and revelations of the Abyss. It’s an adventure that tells the story of a convict sentenced to explore a derelict megastructure deep beneath the surface of an alien moon. 

Is Aylin as invested in your survival as she claims? Should you trust her words? Players will have to fathom where her loyalties lie as they delve deep to uncover the secrets of the derelict megastructure. 

On your journey through the bowels of the mysterious Luna, you will be challenged by the alien terrain, twisted cosmic horrors inhabiting it, and the disturbing revelations nestling in its depth. Overcoming them will involve split-second decision-making using a combination of traversal abilities and an arsenal of weapons.


Development studio Bonsai Collective has unveiled a brand new trailer that shows the full scope of and ambition behind its forthcoming narrative-driven first-person action-adventure Luna Abyss.

The 100-second spot lays the game’s otherworldly environments wide open, giving gamers the best view yet of the carefully crafted cosmos underneath the surface of the mimic moon known as Luna that developer Bonsai Collective has put together for story shooter fans of all abilities.

As the trailer is designed to showcase, Luna Abyss is a treat for all of the senses, with the game’s derelict megastructure frequently shrouding the player in overwhelming darkness pierced only by concentrated shards of light that briefly lay open the ruins ahead. Luna is a world full of mystery, with the remains of its long-lost colony scattered across its caverns and its valleys serving as a suitable chamber for the prisoners sent into the depths of the Abyss to work off their sentences.

With only an artificial prison guard named Aylin as your guide, the question of just what happened to Luna’s lost colony looms large. What are the secrets of the once-prosperous city of Greymont? And what are those strange voices that call out to you from the depths?

Luna Abyss may be our first title as Bonsai, but everyone here has built up years of experience working on some amazing titles,” says Benni Hill, Creative Director at Bonsai Collective. “We wanted to pool all that talent together and create something that everyone can play; a narrative-driven bullet-hell FPS that offers a real challenge without chastising those who find other games in the genre too testing. We have a world we want everyone to experience, however they play.”

Luna Abyss is crafted by an inclusive team of developers passionate about world-building, story-telling, and classic video games. Bonsai Collective is wholeheartedly committed to fostering positive mental health & wellbeing within the studio, letting each member feel safe and secure in their own skin, identities, belief, values, and culture. 

The studio’s core values emphasize ensuring every employee's mental health and wellbeing, the highest level of integrity within and without the team, and absolute belief in every individual’s right to safety.
