The world is ended. You have your orders, Commander.

Descend into the IRON ABYSS.

A HORROR SCI-FI MECHA DUNGEON CRAWLER

You are the commander of the IRON ARK. Lead your three crew into the depths of what once was. The world has changed. But you have your orders.

FREE DEMO OUT NOW, FULL GAME COMING SOON


The demo is the first descent. 3 floors of a structure that runs much deeper. The full game will feature 30 floors in total, story events, new enemy types, item types, and boss floors.


> COMMAND THE  IRON ARK

You watch the descent from the command deck, reading the world through the IRON ARK's onboard terminal, sensor-rendered environs in amber wireframe on near-black, the unit's interpretation of a place too sealed and too quiet to see directly. Your three crew descend without you. You queue their actions, weigh their state, and decide when to press and when to withdraw. Every floor of the structure was sealed for a reason. The IRON ARK is what you were given to find out why.


>> Three Crew, Five Commanders

The crew is three: a front-line ASSAULT to anchor the formation, a front-line MEDIC who keeps the squad standing, and a back-row SYSTEMS operator who breaks the contacts you can't outlast. Before each descent you choose a commander. Five available, each with a trait that reshapes the entire run. 

>> Sanity Is the Cost

Hull damage isn't the only thing the descent demands. Every pilot accumulates insanity from taking hits, watching teammates fall, and crossing into spaces the unit shouldn't be reading.
