Crashable Studios’ Wildwood Down is that rare point-and-click adventure that can make you laugh out loud one moment, scratch your head the next, and get surprisingly emotional right after. It’s an unapologetically quirky comedy-thriller wrapped around a murder mystery, set against the colorful chaos of Wildwood, New Jersey’s boardwalk.

Suppose the original Neon Abyss was a colorful fever dream of bullets, beats, and borderline absurd item combos. In that case, Neon Abyss 2 is the full-blown co-op rave of your chaotic roguelike fantasies. Developed by Veewo Games and published by Kepler Interactive, this early access sequel delivers more of what fans loved, while also daring to mess with the formula.
