NOTE: The achievement will only unlock once you complete the game.

Abyss of Grit
Abyss of Grit
Complete the game without using any healing items.


Not as difficult as you may think as long as you're careful to dodge, run and shoot when necessary.

Some general hints...
  • Ammo is limited so only take out enemies where required.
  • Try to go around the large enemy. Tease him into open areas and/or go around him.
  • You can generally take 4 hits from enemies which ultimately means you have 4 lives to play with.
  • Remember you can retrieve any misfired harpoons.
  • Save and refill your oxygen whenever you can as this creates a checkpoint.
  • If worst to comes to worst, simply die and retry from a checkpoint. This does not affect this achievement.

Abyss of Speedrunning
Abyss of Speedrunning
Complete the game in under 30 minutes.


Again, not overly difficult once you know the layout of the map and object placement. Obviously use the Jet as much as possible and only refill your oxygen when absolutely necessary. You get more time than you think here, even when it starts to signal its low.

The only real annoyance/issue is in the latter half of the game when the larger creature spawns randomly. This can cause you to get side tracked especially when he spawns in a one way corridor, eating into precious time.

Abyss of Mercy
Abyss of Mercy
Complete the game in easy mode.


Nothing more to add as the title says it all really :)

NOTE: This achievement will unlock if you complete the game on normal mode.

Abyss of Persistence
Abyss of Persistence
Complete the game in normal mode.


As above.

NOTE: This achievement will unlock if you complete the game on hard mode.
Abyss of Masochism (New Achievement)
Abyss of Masochism
Complete the game in Hard Mode


Same as the previous completion based achievements.
Abyss of Developers (Secret)
Abyss of Developers
Find the hidden room.
Video guide timestamp link (42:30)

You can only reach this hidden room once you've taken the elevator down to the last part of the game, before you take on the final boss. In this room you will find a locked safe which will contain a 10V battery to help you unlock this achievement.



At numerous times throughout the game you have encountered rooms that hold a counter where you can swap these batteries to unlock various sections of the map. The hidden room can only be entered from the Kitchen which is at the beginning of the game! So yeah, we need to head all the way back and swap out a batteries along with way.

So once you've retrieved the battery, head back up the elevator and towards the Control Room. Ensure you have 15V active on this counter before moving on.



Now head back to the Kitchen and ensure you have 20V active on this counter to unlock the Air Flow in the duct behind you on the floor.



Now enter the duct which you should now be able to navigate freely. Travel all the way to the end to finally get to the secret developer room.

Yeah, I played it and realized today that there is an update and then the difficulty was there:
Thanks for the guide!

You can change the difficulty from the main menu when you start the game. Abyss of Grit as far as I know, can be done on any difficulty.

How do you change the difficulty for Abyss of Grit?
I can't find anything in the settings
