The game comes from indie developer Nikki Kalpa and is published by 2 Left Thumbs. It presents a new take on the horror genre and takes the player into a surreal world that is both captivating and deeply terrifying. 

They Speak From The Abyss challenges players to delve into the bowels of evil and fight their way across streams of unworldly beings that stalk you in every corner. Overall, it is a unique experience that will have you on the edge of your seat. 

Plot

The game puts you in the shoes and mind of Vanessa, a young woman that is seemingly existing within the bounds of this archaic world. It all starts with Vanessa in her apartment when she suddenly uncovers a strange door that leads her into an unfamiliar part of her house. That's where she meets Germaine, her apparent therapist, who wants to know about her troubles and horrific experiences. 

One thing leads to another, and Vanessa soon finds herself going deeper and deeper into an eerie world haunted by damned souls who lurk around the landscape. 

Gameplay

They speak from the Abyss is not your typical horror game and has some unique gameplay designs that fans of classic horror games will love. The game is in first person and doesn't shy away from showing you the most unspeakably horrific images. The pixelated visuals make for a bizarre and dreadful experience, and the minimalistic gameplay gives it a unique feeling. 

Interact with a string of estranged characters, spooky beings, and terrifying demons as you slash your way and collect important relics to unlock the many secrets hidden in this underworld.
