I've been checking this game on Steam since 2022. First, the game was supposed to appear in 2023, then it was changed to 2024. Finally, a more approximate date appeared - the second quarter of 2024, I'm checking now because it's already May, it was changed once again to the third quarter of 2024. How many times will you change it like this?
Hello there! I am a solo developer working on the game with the help of freelancers. The game has seen massive progress in the past years, evolving from Shadow Bonds into the full version, but not everything is going to be ready for the intended release date, thus the delay.
When I release Sigh of the Abyss, I want it to look & play at its best, without compromises on quality.
This was AMAZIIIIIIING! I was so invested I got disappointed when it was over! I appreciated that we could choose if we were interested in men or women at the beginning, as a lesbian it's so frustrating trying to find engaging VNs that don't force male characters on you 😓 Can't wait for the full release!
Question though, in the game will there be ways to increase our stat/abilities that we set at the beginning, or are they always static?
P.S. Can we get more hints as to who the fifth romance will be 👀? Is it a character we've met already in the demo?
Yes, in the full game there will be ways to increase the abilities selected at the beginning! There will also be thresholds that unlock special powers, like the ability to wipe someone's mind, or merging with the shadows much like Atri does.
I don't own a Mac, so testing macOS builds is impossible for me. If there's enough demand, it's something I would definitely look into it, but the price point makes it tricky. An emulator like Wine should work for Shadow Bonds 😊
And for Linux, Proton should work as well—Shadow Bonds runs on Steam Deck without any issues (or so I have been told, I don't own one 😅)

I hope this answered your question 😃
Will the full version be free?
Hello! The full version of the game will be paid :)
Great work, I really liked it. Good luck with the development of the full version ;)
Thank you so much!! ✨
So glad you liked it ✨ more should come later this year!
I ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund the full game, so also opening a Patreon would not be something I'm comfortable doing.

This game looks amazing, I was wondering if you will consider having it available for Mac and Linux computers?
