Phantom Abyss is a massive asynchronous multiplayer game that casts players into procedurally-generated temples and tasks them with retrieving the sacred relics hidden within deadly chambers.
Developed by Team WIBY · Published by Devolver Digital









You take on the role of a temple raider, pushing through procedurally generated chambers to claim relics. Each run leads through branching routes filled with hidden traps, chasms, and pursuing guardians.
Move quickly, leap gaps, and use your whip to navigate hazards. Phantom runs show the attempts of other players in the same temple, giving you a chance to learn from their routes and mistakes.
Collect treasure and keys as you explore: keys open deeper floors, while offerings at altars grant temporary blessings such as a double jump or damage protection. You can also unlock whips, each with a small benefit and a curse.
The sampled reviews are mixed. Players who enjoy the game often praise its fluid movement, frantic pace, and unusual idea of learning from other players’ phantom runs; some also like the whip and its movement options. Other reviews criticize connection problems that prevent access to the main mode, changes to progression, repetitive runs, and issues with temple generation or difficulty.
