The team is hard at work crafting HEART ABYSS into a masterful Metroidvania game, and we're ready to share some of the upcoming changes with you.

Firstly, we've almost finished work on the new demo, which will soon be available on Steam. We have completely redesigned the first level, "Masta's Mansion," which is the primary setting of the demo.

We've also added area mechanics to the game. Now, when Leon is locked in a room, players will have to defeat waves of enemies to escape it. We hope you enjoy it and we can't wait to read your reviews and watch your streams.

And now for the other developments and changes.

New mechanic - Electricity

We've added an electricity mechanic to Heart Abyss. You'll see electrified water spills appear on different levels.

Any character who is affected by the skill will take damage, which includes both Leon and his enemies. You'll be able to experiment with the electricity mechanics and use them to your advantage.

New Level - Mines

After polishing the prologue, we're finally moving on to developing the next level: the Mines.

These are the first sketches for the mines. What do you think of them? Should we add more elements to them? Please let us know in the comments below.

New enemy - Hammerman

Just like the first boss, the Hammerman can attack Leon with electricity. You'll have to use talent and dexterity to dodge his blows.

We've also realized that we didn't give enough details about Leon's story and his motivations, so we added a new introduction and new characters that will flesh out his tale.

There's still a lot of work ahead of us, but we're ready to tackle even the most usual of ideas. Please support Heart Abyss by adding the game to your Wishlist, and joining our Discord. See you in the next update!

Love, HEART ABYSS Team
