Overview
Chosen by the Abyss is a 2D visual novel for players who like dark fantasy stories with monster girls and forbidden bonds. Its tone leans somber and tense, with corruption simmering under a mythic surface.
Story
Five goddesses once watched over the world until one fell to Darkness and had to be sealed away by her own sister, at great cost. That old legend resurfaces when two ordinary girls, Leah and Kira, disturb an ancient crystal in a cave and wake something that has been sleeping for centuries. What follows puts them in front of the same choice that once divided the heavens: stand against the Darkness, or give themselves to it.
Gameplay
Players move through the story as choices shape how Leah and Kira respond to the entity they've awakened and to each other. Dialogue decisions steer tone and relationships rather than open exploration, with the narrative branching toward light or corruption depending on what's chosen. Sprite and background art update alongside the story to mark new locations and turning points.
Features
- Hand-illustrated 2D art with sprites that highlight during conversations
