📖 About This Game
Step into the shadowed halls of Miskatonic University, where fate and madness echo behind every closed door.
Abyss Echo: The Forbidden Rite is a deeply immersive narrative game that weaves branching storylines, dice-driven uncertainty, and evocative physical artifacts — blurring the boundary between reader and protagonist. Here, you are both yourself and the 1920s student investigator, their fate and sanity intimately entwined with your own. Guided by cryptic letters, you’ll piece together elusive clues, test the limits of science and reason, and confront choices that might reshape reality itself.
Designed for solo or group play, each session fuses emotional depth, cosmic horror, and psychological intrigue. Every decision transforms not just the story, but your experience — melding masterfully crafted narrative with tactile objects to decode and assemble. Every letter, relic, and clue becomes a tangible part of your journey through the university’s dark corridors, where cosmic dread and scientific obsession intertwine.
Game mechanics and rules are introduced through the story. After setup, follow the story and make decisions as directed.
The game ends in 2 ways. You can finish a story and win or your Sanity is reduced to zero and you lose.
