The Abyss beckons you…
You are dead.
Your dreams and aspirations, the very essence of your life, have dissipated like mist—and you find yourself on the cusp of the abyss.
But in this limbo between realms, “The Bar on the Abyss” awaits, a haven for souls both dead and eternal.
As its newest steward, you inherit an establishment that defies the laws of time and mortality. Here, spirits cling to remnants of life, each with a story as rich and complex as the universe itself.
Will you guide these lost souls toward peace or deeper into the shadows of their past?
Every choice weaves a new thread into the intricate tapestry of afterlives converging at your bar. It’s a world brimming with moral quandaries, ethereal intrigue, and the chance to forge connections that transcend death itself (or even with Death themself)
Navigate love that defies mortality, ambitions that outlive the flesh, and the relentless quest for a closure that may never come.
How will you shape the legacy of The Bar on the Abyss?
Will you be its salvation or its downfall?
Step behind the counter and into the mystery, for in this realm at the edge of eternity, the next story poured could be your own.
