About This Game



Detective Will Stanhope had been a rising star in the Ashfield Police Department until a terrifying case in 1986 almost broke him. He tranferred to vice, filling his days with small-time drug busts in the hope that there were better days ahead, However, A grisly murder soon drags him back to his darkest hour, back to where his life began to unravel... Lascado Prosthetics.



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 Will Stanhope through the story, towards its final, bloody conclusion.



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.
