The Abyssal (WIP) - 06/26 DEMO Update. Play as death itself!

I hope we get a choice to kill all of The Gods except the sun god so they can be all alone and every time they tried to have a companion we kill that companion as well as makes the lives of humans and other species extremely short

I mean, you also can’t kill Death. I personally think Namur is the true mastermind villain.

As for the trajectory, my Death was a gentle and humble god. But now after the betrayal and torment, he’s closing off his heart to those who don’t deserve it. He will seek vengeance on all the gods, including his former spouse, as well as avenge the fate of his worshippers.

I kinda wish we could have kept all the urudum rods that were driven into our body. Would be poetic to drive each one into the body of each god whose hand drove the same rod into us.

Lol acctually death can die it just so happens if our MC and or Sol die the entire world goes with them. All the other gods however they can die and the world will keep on trucking along.

As to the current conversations with namur isn’t it a bit of speculation as to there reasoning after all in game we dont exactly see the why they did what they did just that one of there mortals played a key role in how they imprisoned our MCs. Part of the reason in so very curious as to what exactly sparked events beyond the little we do know in game.

For my MC death acctually similar to yours for my main playthrough though is a Justice domain instead of vengeance. Though doesnt mean we’re not going to be a few gods less before the end. At this point only 2 gods are safe from being killed off another two depending on there actions will determine there final fate. But chemion, namur, the two war twins, and our sister well those five are going to have a very very bad day to say the least.

Sol and Death probably can die to be honest. The sealing of death probably had more to do with the Sea gods spite, and the fact that all the gods put together would probably still get spanked by Death.

Sol and Death are just on a different level compared to the others. Death mentions that they arent simply ā€œDeathā€, they’re the inevitable; the end of all things that one day will happen. Which would mean Sol is probably the beginning of all. Though, it seems all the Gods can actually create life, since the sea god made some.

Aside from the Sea God, the others probably fear death since as the the one of darkness mentions that Death had been doing things, other than what they were typically doing, and they Death wouldnt explain why. Which I believe. I wont go into specifics, since its a Patreon content. But essentially Sol did a fucky wucky and started messing with stuff they shouldn’t have and its making problems with the balance. This causes Death to have to step in and probably take drastic measures to try and fix.

But, it does seem that the Gods domains can at least function without them, since Death had their connection with the river of souls cut off and it still ā€œworkedā€ so to speak.

I cant speak to patreon stuff since im not on it lol but I did say afterall if death or sol die the whole world goes with them. Its because it messes with the balance of things however every other God/Goddess is fair game in that it wont destroy everything if they die.

An true the sea god was a driving factor but still it took others betrayal for it to happen and im still curious to see how it all came about and why. :grinning_face:

As to the river of souls i dont think its cut off since that’s part of what would destroy the world if the died. Yet rather deaths connection was damaged i like to imagine given enough time it can be repaired to a more pre imprisoned state though never the same as it was.

we have only ever really had one interaction with Namur so far and nothing he said was anything but neutral towards us and towards Chaimon, so I don’t have any reason to suspect him as anything.i suspect that Nemeya is the mastermind behind the plot she wants to raise herself up to being equal to Sol if not superior, i also suspect that Chaimon actually had a hand in the issues with the natural balance that lead to us having to purge people probably wanted to try and bring his wife back

It will be extremely funny if his wife left him after she learned what he have done to death

I want to bring her back to life to kill her and let Chamion watch that would be a perfect punishment for him

His wife died his issue with death was that death reaped her and chamion didnt respect his wife’s wishes an he blamed death for taking her away.

I know I meant when he managed to bring her back somehow she leave his ass immediately for what he had done

Ah that would be a Sol thing but I imagine she would be upset for being brought back more than anything at first if such was to have happened.

I’m talking about the wife of the sea god not the sun god

:: sighs :: i know but sol is the god of life so they would be the one.

Actually, I dont think Sol could bring someone back. Resurrection still falls under the Death domain, pretty much once the soul has ā€œleft the buildingā€ so to speak, it’s Deaths turf.

However, what Sol COULD have done, is make them unable to ā€œdieā€. Which, is actually very bad, and Patreon content shows just exactly what happens when they do. It isnt pretty.

Meh im done with this conversation after this bit im about to post at least for now. I’m not apart of the patreon so I cant and wont comment on it and not much point even mentioning it here in the public forum when those who aren’t can only go off of what is currently public. Could say more but i dont have it in me right now to do so.

As to Sol and the bringing back to life question i can agree to disagree for a couple reasons one its in the job titles the two posses as well hinted at in game and directly implied. One death can’t bring people back to life our MC is able to state as much if at least one choice is made. 2 its the soul that death can affect and via our escape we see mortals and creations with souls do not half to be dead to get taken and used. 3 as such your right it would break the balance for life to be brought back even though giving life which is something sol can do is something that can be used for good or ill in that regard depending on things.

So it more or less in this moment for me is beyond the physical body just how much can Sol bring back? Is it the soul of dead from the beyond? Or is it a new one or something else entirely?

Yes, Sol and the Sea God can CREATE life. Sol can change the LIFESPAN, none of what ya said have have anything to do with after death.

Also, Death CAN bring someone back, they just don’t on principle because of the balance. Death’s firm stance on things, is all things inevitable end/die, and it cannot/should not be stopped. Or risk messing up alot of stuff.

As for the ā€œthey dont have to be dead to take their soulsā€, we know? But even Death states in that VERY SCENE that all souls belong to them, and they cannot deny their call followed up by forcefully taking them. If ALL souls belong to Death, then they’re obviously in their domain of powers. All though it isnt specifically stated anywhere, generally when the ā€œthings cannot live foreverā€ theme happens, reincarnation is mixed it. If things never die, souls never return and go through the process of rebirth. Meaning there could be a finite amount of ā€œsoulsā€.

So can Sol revive people? Probably not. They’re a God of life, and Death specifically said all souls belong to them.

Do things have to die for Death to reap them? Nope, Death is Death, should be obvious.

Can Death being people back? The Soul at least probably. That IS what Necromancy is all about, you know, the magic involving death?

Agreed, it has the same problem as The Golden Rose where it gets too wordy with little choice.

Inclined to agree far too much exposition but not a lot of choices. Still a good IF however with an intriguing mythology and story.

I’m with you. As someone not on the patreon, I was going off the knowledge presented to me in the current public story. Which seemed to imply to me at least that Death cannot actually die. Kinda why I checked out as all the patreon side story talk started. :face_exhaling:
