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.

Bonsai Collective today lifted the lid on a brand new “Behind the Scenes” showcase detailing the soundtrack behind Luna Abyss.

The fresh video spot gives both a detailed look at the recording process directly from Air Studios, London - featuring the London Voices choir - and an effusive interview with Luna Abyss composer David Housden, who talks through both his process and his relationship with the development team.

“I was sent some of the art director’s work very early on, and I could hear notes forming in my head just from looking at some of the environments he’d created,” says Housden in the video. “An equal inspiration for me is also the creative relationship that I have with [Creative Director] Benni Hill on the project. His way with words and the stories he creates inspire something profound in me creatively that the music kind of writes itself - it’s a very rare kind of thing to have.”

The video has been produced for online music festival Save & Sound. The nonprofit event - which runs on Steam between September 11th and September 14th - features exclusive content, including demos, discounts, and original content from almost 200 games.

Excitingly, the release of the new video also comes as Bonsai Collective unveils a brand new partnership with video game culture creative studio Lost In Cult to produce the Official Soundtrack on Vinyl release in association with Black Screen Records. Indeed, you can register your interest for the soundtrack here (link will go live at 7pm BST/8pm CEST/11am PST/9am EST).

“Music is a big part of Luna Abyss, so it makes absolute sense we’d want to release the soundtrack in its own right,” says Benni Hill, Creative Director at Bonsai Collective. “What David has done is truly amazing, and we can’t imagine the game without his music now. He’s truly fused with everything that we’re trying to do.”
