I thought I saw a new post in my feed but it was the old update 98 days ago of the hard drive corruption. God damn I was reminded of this game's existence just to remember the crushing reality of its indefinite hiatus.
DGT I don't know if you still read these comments or if you have mainly been avoiding this page altogether, but never in my life have I played such a wacky unpredictable game with creative characters and an intriguing plot like this. Not being a dev myself, I cannot fathom the loss of the files and assets, but holy shit do I hope that one day you will regain the strength and motivation to rebuild and continue this amazing project.
i havent stopped thinking about this since i played it... multiple times over... there was always something new and exciting to discover, always some new mystery to think about. and even though its full of symbolism and metaphors, what its truly about just gets clearer and clearer as you go through it, and it really is a story that i think does what it sets out to in a way that most works fall short of, even in its demo state. if that makes sense... what i want to say is, thank you for sharing this with us, and im sorry for the loss of everything, and im looking forward to the future of abscess and our dear friend fishbone
Thinking of this as a first draft, and excited to see all that you create in a new from-scratch iteration, with all that you've learned so far. Keep building! <3
very good, didn't even realize it was a demo until i played for a little over an hour and got the "end of demo" screen. fair warning, if at any point you find yourself thinking, "oh hey, i think i kinda see where this is going" - no you do not. you might think you do. but you literally never do
Hey dude it's really unfortunate to have read your log on your hard drive fucking up. I highly enjoyed this small little thing and I didn't even expect this to be only a demo for a fully-fledged game. You have room for a lot of passion for your craft and interesting ideas for games, that much I can concur. I'm sorry this had to happen to you, but I'm sure you have the spirit to go on and deliver something fantastic soon. Don't overwork your spirit and body, take it easy man. I'm rooting for you.
Few hours later after my last review and I had to play this game again, recorded it to hopefully get some of my friends on board! Going to go back and do some hunting of alt dialogue and find that pesky rumored 4th bad move
I don't say this lightly, even in it's demo state this is probably my GOTY. I love surreal content, and somehow this struck me very hard. I didn't know what I had in store after looking at the trailer and everything surpassed my expectations, the writing is fun, even comedic at times depending on your sense of humor, every 3D scene is full of love and a joy to see and with an endearing protagonist to boot. I've been shilling this game to all my friends- this is such a hidden gem. Abscess is unforgettable
Fascinating and surreal game, it really captures a certain vibe that only RPG Maker games seem to be able to pull off. Very sorry to hear about your hard drive situation, hopefully things will look up for you in the future.
