Abyssal: Dark Action/Gore Indie Anime

Abyssal: Dark Action/Gore Indie Anime

Project Overview

We are building an independent, high-octane, dark action/gore anime inspired by the raw intensity of classic fighting games like Mortal Kombat, but featuring an entirely original universe, lore, and brutal execution mechanics. This is a passion-driven, revenue-share independent project designed for mature audiences (+18). We are currently assembling a core team from scratch to build this world, refine the script, and bring these ruthless characters to life
