IRON ABYSS: A Sci-Fi Horror Mecha Dungeon Crawler
IRON ABYSS releases August 11, 2026, for Windows and macOS.
Command a three-pilot android crew in a first-person, turn-based mecha dungeon crawler set deep beneath a ruined post-apocalyptic world. Explore abandoned industrial corridors, manage your crew’s deteriorating sanity, and uncover memories that were never meant to survive.
You are the commander of the IRON ARK. Lead your crew into the depths of what once was. The world has changed, but you still have your orders.

Command the IRON ARK
Watch the descent from the command deck and interpret the world through the IRON ARK’s onboard terminal. Sealed environments emerge as amber wireframe against near-black, the machine’s reconstruction of places too dark, too quiet, and too damaged to observe directly.
Lead Three Crew Members
Your crew consists of three specialized android pilots:
- ASSAULT: A front-line combat unit that anchors the formation.
- MEDIC: A front-line support unit that keeps the squad operational.
- SYSTEMS: A back-row operator who disrupts threats the crew cannot overpower directly.
Before every descent, choose one of five commanders. Each commander has a unique trait that changes your strategy and reshapes the entire run.
Manage Your Crew’s Sanity
Hull damage is not the only cost of the descent. Every pilot accumulates insanity after taking hits, witnessing teammates fall, and entering spaces the IRON ARK should not be able to perceive.
Protect the crew’s bodies, manage their psychological deterioration, and decide how far you are willing to push them to complete the mission.
Experience a Dreamlike Post-Apocalyptic Story
Experience the story through the memories of a surviving commander. Descend into the buried history of the IRON ARK’s crew and search for the fragments of humanity that remain within a world, and a machine, that has almost forgotten them.
