The Abyssal (WIP) - 11/23 DEMO Update. Play as death itself!

:3 who knows anymore.

Alright, so it seems like ill have to leave the things noticed post-update here. Since i cant see anything to do it on Patreon with.

Ill give it all without spoilers, so dont worry, fellow fans.

First, i hope this update is a good omen, and hint for more future updates, or at least just “verbal” ones. Certainly you are not obligated to give any here, but on stuff like Patreon…But, not my project.

NOW, the actual advice. Before the update goes public, i HIGHLY suggest you go through it ALL. The sheer amount of gender swaps crazy ((This happens with almost anything involving Sol, and Marcella)) And gender selection doesnt seem to lock in for Sol when you "lock all ROs to female)). You seem to have to do it via “manual selection”

The only other issue is, is nearing the end. “She” and “Her”, idk if this person is generlocked. But the words are constantly swapped. I cant give examples here, cause itd spoil stuff. But, just do a quick speed play through it, and youll see what i mean.

Anyway. GREAT TO SEE THIS UP AND GOING AGAIN, CANT WAIT TO SEE THIS GREAT IDEA BE ALL GREAT AND STUFF.

I trudge forward, my footsteps heavy with the weight of uncertainty. I don’t know what lies ahead, but I must endure, for the alternative is an eternity of madness. And so, with a determined heart and a fragile mind, I press on, praying that somewhere in the depths of my tortured soul, I will find the resilience to survive.

It’s here!! The public update is now live! :black_heart::black_heart:

But first you can read some of the changes I made for this update:

  1. Sol is now gender selectable! Now only Wulfric is gender-locked, while the rest of the ROs are all gender-selectable;
  2. Friend!crush Sol (friends to lovers) and Enemy!crush Sol (enemies to lovers). Romancing choices are marked with a :black_heart:;
  3. Rescue—adopt?—a little kid;
  4. Two interludes were added.
  5. Choose to wear a mask or a veil, and pick between many designs of masks for your Death to wear;
  6. Second part of Chapter 2 is focused on world-building, lore, and Éoin’s life as a mortician.

Secondly, a list of small things that I added:

  1. Around 15k words were added to chapter one and 12k to chapter two. The demo now has a total of 100k words;
  2. Now the choices that will unlock the madness and fury domain are labeled.
  3. Added time and location to each memory jump to better situate the reader.
  4. Make sure to check the show stats option! I’ll be adding details about the characters and the world of Hylaria there with every update.
  5. Much more.

And so here it is! The fabled update!

in said update we learn just what the consequences of the betrayal of death were for the mortals. And holy cow were the gods so Fing short sighted. Mainly the sea god. The only thing that’s stopping me from planning out the sweet justice of doing what he ring led the gods into doing to us, even though he’s a bastered is, what it could do the world. And how it would effect the mortals in it.

Congrats on the relaunch @Holtzmann! – you put a lot of hard work and effort to bring this out the way you did.

You may want to update the title to reflect the relaunch date, otherwise some readers might get confused.
