The game’s description via Spike Chunsoft can be seen below:
Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is an action RPG in which players themselves descend into the world of the Abyss and grow through their experience in its depths. The game, supervised by original series author Akihito Tsukushi, recreates the world of the Abyss in 3D, including battles with creatures, collecting relics, and “The Curse of the Abyss.” Fans are sure to enjoy the dark fantasy that remains true to the unique flavor of the original work.
The game offers two game modes. “Hello Abyss” is a story mode in which players can relive the story of the anime while learning the basic system and how to progress in the game. In “Deep in Abyss,” players can enjoy an original story of a new Cave Raider, who takes on the challenge of exploring the depths of the Abyss. Many characters from Made in Abyss appear, and event scenes are fully-voiced by the cast of the anime.
