Thanks Holger, now I just need to finish it as well

Been hard at work and Abysm now has a Steam page with capsule art, a new trailer, a wishlist (hint!), and all those things:

Or would you consider not changing it? After all, it seems like a behavior that is unique to Abysm, and unique/special behaviours are a good thing for standing out from the herd of BD clones!
