It's a good game. Very atmospheric with good music and nice art (with some exceptions). It has a solid story, though the puzzles are average. I liked the fact that some of the puzzles were quite abstract due to the storyline (supernatural forces, people in delirium), but their potential was unfortunately not fully explored. However, the direction was great, as the game mixes down-to-earth puzzles with more abstract ones. During the gameplay, I was a little disappointed that the computer database wasn't a bit richer. I would say that puzzles are not the strong point of this game, but the storyline and atmosphere definitely are. My final score would be a strong 7.5/10. I admire the talent of the author. Oh one more thing. Even though I liked the art style, the quality was a bit inconsistent, but some of the shots looked very cinematic, which I really enjoyed.
Such a gloomy atmosphere for a well written game. It was quite eerie, especially the first half. Made me think of these harrowing episodes from the two first season of X-Files. The soundtrack played a major role in this feeling of dread. Congrats! Now I'll play the free prequel Snarl and keep it up with Carnival! I love point 'n click games and I can't believe that I had missed this gem. P.S. : if the dev reads this : I also checked out your blog and I had a blast reading your Adventure X diary.
Abscission is an excellent game Lovecraftian point and click adventure game, with an excellent story, sound design and music. I recommend it to adventure game fans.
A short, moody and surprisingly well written point & click with a few choices and different endings, where I was satisfied even though I got the two "bad" endings out of the 4 available. If the overall setting appeals to you, I would definitely recommend giving it a go.
Incredible spooky point and click game! So much fun, and very addictive!! The art and soundtrack are stunning. Amazing!!
游戏开始的画面和色彩吸引了我,不过后期和前面的感觉并不完全相同 但不影响它把恐惧刻进了画面和逻辑中。缺乏一定的引导,不过也是我看对话不够认真导致的,有时候会快进而错过目标。 我的体验很好,不过这不是一个体量很大的游戏,部分细节和作者其他游戏有联动。故事讲的很好。我的体验很好
While it doesn't stray too much from the genre's conventions storywise, it's a competently made horror story and well presented when it comes to graphics and sound. (The latter being noteworthily well done.) It's of decent length for its price range, too. Only weak aspect would be the actual gameplay as it's more of a narrative to click through with only few puzzles and those being rather simple, too. (Think: "use crowbar with door" level of difficulty.) Still fun enough to recommend, so I do.
Very good game and truer to Lovecraftian horror than most games that profess to be. Very enjoyable. Without giving spoilers, don't stress about the outcomes of your choices; make the choices you think you should make in each instance (no scum-saving!). I'm not a huge fan of how the ending moment is done, but I can appreciate the thinking behind it and still enjoyed it.
Great PNC adventure. Lots of Kathy Rain vibes. If you like darker PNC adventures, check this out!
