Concept mockups. The final game may look different.
Born as a Film Script
Abandoned was first developed in 2019 by human visionaries and writers. It began as a film script, and the story was later reimagined as a video game.
The world, its seven systems and the people fighting over them were all imagined and written by people. AI is a tool we use along the way, helping with concept images and organizing the work, while the vision and the storytelling stay human.
Cut Off From Earth
More than forty years ago, Earth withdrew its support and disconnected the home gate. The seven colonized systems, linked by transport gates, were left to fend for themselves.
Now the knowledge needed to maintain the gates, ships, power grids and cities is slowly being lost, and the infrastructure is failing with it.
On Mearus, the tech company Novius SC is a front for a secret group hunting a rumored hidden gate back to Earth. Bounty hunters, paranoid governments, pirates, infiltrators and the Alpha system, which wants its control back, all stand in the way.
Seven Systems
Alpha
The first colony. Once the seat of power, and now it wants that power back.
Hocxia
Metals and mining, supplying most of the colonies’ building material. The first to secede.
Lyca
A gas giant system that fuels the colonies.
Tudran
An ocean planet with lifeless waters, exporting water to the others.
Prima Sijjin
A would-be utopia of strict laws, with a thriving criminal underground.
Lukarna
A rocky world with a single city, living on greenhouse crops.
Mearus
An unbreathable world of underground research bases, and home to Novius SC.

Beyond the game, the Abandoned universe is planned to grow into books, comics and short stories in future production.
