Sigh of the Abyss

beautiful, emotive artwork, couched in a really complex, thorny story about governance, magic, power, freedom and grief. also, insane to me that not everyone is choosing to live in absolute lesbian bliss with sylas and the (first of many) adopted cats, but y'all do y'all I guess.

I think it's a good game. Decided to play preview of it and ended up enjoying it enough to buy it! The variety of choice is nice, but if there's one thing that I can complain is the lack of Ascanio CG compared to others😭 Doesn't even have a kiss CG while others have it... Sad day for Ascanio stan but nevertheless it's a good game.

10/10 Tanto en la historia, el carisma de los personajes (me quedo con las chicas lo siento jajaja le dan mil vueltas Sylas, Marané o Atri forever), la estética y el mundo. Me encantaría que hubiera una segunda parte (ubicada en el mismo universo aun que sean diferentes ubicaciones y protagonistas). El sistema de personalizar a la prota también me encanta, la magia del Abismo sea con sombras o manipulación mental me fascinan

So happy I bought this game and got to experience all the the amazing storybuilding and beautiful art of it. I got 13 hours of gameplay for my first run (no reruns to get with the other LIs or achievements yet) so I would say that this is definitely worth the money game time-wise. It is beautifully written, the art is gorgeous and you get thrown in a intrigue that will make you hold your breath until the very last chapter without feeling like it's milking every plotpoint either. I could not stop playing and I actually will be playing again to try a different run for my Envoy, a different love interest... The story is so interesting and they provide so many lore entries in the logs, I spent a lot of time just reading them to get to know the universe better. I truly recommend it!

So good. SO flipping good. Obsessed. On a real note, all the characters are written so wonderfully and it's genuinely insane to NOT want to know more about each and everyone of them. The story is SO strong, I will be getting that lore book NEOWWW

I'd had this on my wishlist for a long time before I finally picked it up, and ended up enjoying it a lot more than I'd expected. The writing and characterization are pretty good, and the art and character designs are appealing. I like the almost oil-painting style of it. The storyline is decently long. There are some interesting ethical dilemmas to parse, especially closer to the endgame. I appreciated the ability to toggle the main character's interest in romantic partners and also that the resulting flirting-type conversation options were marked as such. The ways to solve problems (or not) can vary between playthroughs as you select which sort of abyss power to focus on, or which characters you've befriended/helped along the way. It flows fairly smoothly and I don't think I felt stuck in any of the four times I played. Also (and this is I guess more of a personal thing) I was worried about playing a woman-coded character in a fantasy-past setting, but it was fine. The main character doesn't necissarily read as cis-femme and the setting doesn't have a great deal of misogyny built into the cultures depicted which was honestly refreshing. So if "playing as a woman" usually bothers you, you might still find that you enjoy this story.

Wow, just great! Great story, great choices and great characters! Just try it!

This visual novel has an interesting story, lore and characters. Takes a while to really start up so hang in there.

This game has an excellent story, amazing characters, and interesting lore. What more do you need? I have no regrets in buying this game and i will be keeping an eye out for future projects from the devs.

very good VN. great choices and interresting answer system to give the conversations your own feeling. the whole setting including the characters felt very atmospheric.
