About This Game

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.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

There is pixellated horror in some scenes, including dead bodies, mutilation, mutation, gun use and potential killing, and one scene of suicide (silhouette) depending on player choice.
