About The Abandoned Planet
The Abandoned Planet thrusts an astronaut into a 2D, first‑person, point‑and‑click adventure after a wormhole crash lands her on a deserted world. The core goal is to uncover why the planet’s settlements are empty and to find a way back home.
Inspired by Myst, Riven, and 90s LucasArts titles, the game blends hand‑painted pixel art with an HD UI, over 300 distinct areas, fully voiced English dialogue, and animated cutscenes, while a modern navigation system keeps movement quick and responsive.
