End of Abyss BTS Video Breaks Down Game Design and Player Experience

Section 9 Interactive has released the second End of Abyss behind-the-scenes video, this time focusing on gameplay and level design decisions that shape the player experience.

Titled Where I Hide The Secrets, the video features several members of the development team discussing how they approach the game’s spaces and the way players interact with them.

Building the Player Experience

Section 9 Interactive co-founder Mattias Ottvall joins Environment Artist Gustav Bunse, Level Designer Robin Jansson, and Game Programmer Isabella Norström for the latest developer feature.

The group focuses on the design philosophies behind End of Abyss and how different disciplines work together to shape its gameplay.

Rather than focusing solely on individual systems, the video examines the relationship between level design, environmental work, programming, and the player’s moment-to-moment experience.
