Rules of Abyss The dead don't die. They might stay still at first. But with the appearance of the black sun, they will rise. Burn them to ashes or turn their brain to mush if you want to avoid being hunted by flesh hungry beasts at night. There's danger everywhere in the abyss but the greatest danger hides in the dark. Do not head into the dark carelessly. If you hear a extra pair of footsteps while travelling alone or with a group, pick up your pace. You will get to see another day. Otherwise, that will be it. In the dark, do not respond to any voice. Whether It belongs to your loved ones or someone unfamiliar. It's a trap. It's a trap. It's a trap. Important things are said thrice.
