Inside Abaddon: Princess of the Decay

What it is

Abaddon: Princess of the Decay is a great blend of Japanese horror and Lovecraftian dread. The game has an 8-bit retro aesthetic that combined with the story and gameplay captures the hopelessness and inevitability typical of Japanese curse and ghost stories, where the supernatural feels omnipotent and unstoppable.

The premise

Welcome to Ayakoji Mansion... Nestled deep in a dark forest and rumored to be full of sex, sin, and mystery, many have tried to discover the secrets within its walls...

Professor Yamanobe, a close friend of the mansion's owner, brings a small team of students to uncover the truth behind the mansion's curses when they suddenly go missing.

Enter Homura, son of Professor Yamanobe, who has recruited his small group of friends to scour the mansion with him in search of his father.

Will they be able to find his father and escape alive? Or will they suffer an unthinkable fate...?
