The Abyss holds many secrets. Some, perhaps, should be kept hidden.

Section 9 Interactive and Epic Games Publishing have lifted the veil further on their haunting atmospheric adventure End of Abyss, releasing the second official behind-the-scenes video — and it dives deep into the mysterious design, world-building, and hidden truths awaiting players when the game launches October 1, 2026.

Where I Hide the Secrets — The New Developer Video

Titled “Where I Hide The Secrets”, this second episode takes you inside the minds behind the game:

• Mattias Ottvall (Co-founder, Section 9 Interactive) — design philosophy and core vision
• Gustav Bunse (Environment Artist) — crafting the eerie, industrial depths of the facility
• Robin Jansson (Level Designer) — guiding players through spaces that feel alive with hidden meaning
• Isabella Norström (Game Programmer) — the systems that make exploration tense and rewarding

Together, they unpack how every corridor, shadow, and silence in the Abyss has been crafted to draw you deeper — and keep you looking over your shoulder.

What Lies Beneath

End of Abyss casts you into a dark, isolated facility where the line between science and something far stranger begins to blur:

• Atmospheric sci-fi horror — tension doesn’t just come from what you see, but what you sense
• Carefully crafted exploration — environments tell stories; look closely, and the facility itself may reveal its purpose
• Industrial yet organic — metal, concrete, and machinery that feels worn, lived-in, and faintly wrong
• Something watches — the deeper you go, the clearer it becomes: you are not alone down here
