Abscission - Detective/Horror available now on Steam - mature content

[Yanek_Crispbread]

Abscission is a Lovecraftian, story-driven horror point-and-click investigation game. It involves searching crime scenes for evidence, combining clues and questioning suspects. Puzzles can have multiple solutions as you guide the protagonist - Detective Will Stanhope - through the story.

Stanhope will sometimes be presented with alternative ways to handle a conversation, based on four temperaments:

Melancholic (detail oriented)
Phlegmatic (calm)
Sanguine (sociable)
Choleric (driven)

There is no one approach that works best for all conversations, and Stanhope will need to use all of them in order to be the best he can be.

This game adapts to your choices. People will remember how Stanhope spoke to them and may respond differently in the future, so consider each response carefully. Will Stanhope's destiny is in your hands. Choose wisely.

To say that I enjoyed this game is an understatement. Great writing, a creative twist on dialogue puzzles, and highly atmospheric sounds and visuals! I hope this finds the audience it deserves! It's in my top 3 AGS games this year.

Are there more than four endings?

Nitpick: I did find some small bugs and inconsistencies. A couple of places, the character won't walk unless I click on a character/object/hotspot. My initial guess would be that the WalkTo has put him outside the walkable area, trapping him, although I could be wrong.
