Abyss Veil

Le jeu est vraiment cool à jouer, 'jai du mal à comprendre la trame narrative pour le moment et l'univers mais j'arrive à discerner là où va le jeu. Les graphismes sont assez singuliers, j'aime vraiment la vibe indé du jeu c'est et le travail derrière est vraiment enorme, la bande originale est juste excellente comme les sons du jeu. J'ai pas encore fini mais je kiff déjà énormément !

So. This is certainly a game. Not a good one, but definetly an intriguing one. In my opinion, the game is give or take fine, the story is intresting, character development is amazing, and overall, the writing part of the game is really well done. But, artistic direction is still unknown to me. Like, yeah, I see the vision and it is pretty good, but at the same time, it looks really weird. It looks like an asset flip at some points, while in the others it looks amazing. It is definetly a really ambitious project, but the lack of expirience in making games definetly shows. I would rate this game a 5/10, but we will see how the development progresses and how the game will eventually turn out. P.S. Also, good music design.

You'll understand My Bloody Christmas one day. I promise.

This was a fun game with good characters and a decent but simple artstyle in the cutscenes. Level design was also pretty good too but I did find myself getting lost a few times. Also to sum up the story I guess it is about a mercenary company and their adventures in the Lily Archipelago with Ivy's memories being looked at by Pinto. The game also does have a few funny moments that I enjoyed as well and the music is the game is great. Before I forget though I should also mention that Abyss Veil is also VERY narrative heavy game so be prepared for a lot of dialogue. Abyss Veil has a lot of content for the price that it is at now with future chapters in the works and I would say that this is a nice hidden gem of a game. I did upload the entirety of Chapter 1 since no one else seems to have down below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxmwOEEXpHc

Я ОБОЖАЮ УБИВАТЬ ЛЮДЕЙ Я ЧУВСТВУЮ, ЧТО МЕНЯ ЦЕНЯТ. Я ЧУВСТВУЮ, ЧТО МНЕ ЗДЕСЬ МЕСТО. ЗАРАБОТОК ХОРОШИЙ.

Quelle surprise, ce jeu regorge de références du monde et des forums d'aujourd'hui. Sur un ton humoristique, parfois noir, vous serez surpris a chaque dialogue : "Campagnard Dédé envoi Fachoterel", eGirl Delphine qui a besoin de son "décontractant" (qui n'est ni plus ni moins qu'un vibro), que vous devrez acheter au "Lydl", mais qui sert aussi de popo anti paralysie sur vos Risimon... Et tant d'autres chose aussi "risibles" les unes que les autres. Comprenez que ce jeu n'est pas à prendre au premier degré, ni second, plutôt au 3e voire 4e. Quoique... Cette scène d'une manifestation devant le Lydl qui oppose des gilets jaunes aux CRS où il se passe cette action très subtile mais terriblement réelle d'un policier qui se trouve du côté des manifestants et qui lance un objet sur les CRS pour declencher l'affrontement. Soyez conscients que tout ce que vous verrez dans ce jeu, existe ici bas. Risimon c'est cet humour bien français, parfois subtil, parfois gras et lourd qui dénonce les dérives de ce monde fatigué intellectuellement..

Great hidden gem

This game is certainly not for everyone but if you are an enjoyer of Chris-chan style aesthetics and Life is Strange-esque cornball writing as I am, this game will be kino. The gameplay is a combination of FPS, visual novel and survival horror. The FPS segments are gory fun, clearly inspired by FEAR. The survival horror elements are present only at the beginning and end of the game and serve only to advance the story, but they completely switch up the gameplay, being a copy of early REs with tank controls and jank cam. The story/visual novel is pretty good, though probably not for everyone. The story is convoluted, much like an esoteric anime or fanfic. The lore is quite deep for a game of this caliber and the implications surprisingly dark contrasting against the whimsical art style. While it is unabashedly an indie project, it is clear the dev put a massive amount of thought and passion into the game and that makes it very interesting, certainly one of the more interesting titles I picked up during the spring sale. I would say definitely worth $6 tbh.

A very unique, strange and kinda uneven experience, that's so far (having just finished ch. 1) leaving me really curious to see what else this creator makes. ive been kinda describing it as like, "shoegaze / late soundcloud rap Cruelty Squad" to my friends, which isn't 1:1 exactly but kinda gets you there (mostly in terms of being much more lethal than you'd expect given the stripped-back presentation), you can really see the f.e.a.r. influence on the fps portion's sleeve. The writing is....clunky, especially in the first ~1/3 of ch.1, but deeply charming, especially as both a solo project and a first game. You can kinda see the dev work through "how do i write this" in real time as you make your way through the back half of the game, and I'd say it ultimately lands on its feet! even if, admittedly, the characters all have very similar "character voice" in terms of affects and general personality (although again, you see this improve as the game goes on!) Also, mech portions were fun! Kinda samey, but once you get the rhythm of them they Are pretty rad. Trailer theme drop during one of the later segments was genuinely awesome. (the music and backing, in general in this game, are also pretty good, and hits a really particular and specific vibe Really well) Overall I very much recommend checking this game out, I guarantee that it'll have something that will pleasantly surprise you.

If you are reading reviews after you have watched the trailer and the screenshots, Abyss Veil is definitively for you. You'll see that this game is something, I mean like really "something", and you will love it for that ! Every second of it !
