Abyss Diver Interactive

You've somehow found yourself at Outset Town, on the edge of an enormous hole that goes deep into the ground. No one knows how deep it goes and no one knows what lies in the deepest layers of the Abyss. What people do know is that there are incredible wonders to be found, but also a corrupting miasma that infuses the entire area. No one who ventures deep into the Abyss comes out looking the same way they went in.

Now, you have a chance to explore the Abyss and see what you can discover, and see the costs you'll need to pay for those discoveries.

A fan-made wiki can be found here:

Note: I am not the original author of the image CYOA this game is originally based on, but the original author granted me permission to adapt it while specifically requesting that I do not credit them by name.

Go as deep as you dare into the Abyss. The deeper you go, the more valuable and powerful the relics you find will be, but the more dangerous the threats and curses will be too. Make sure you bring enough food and water if you plan to make a long journey, and be prepared for a wide variety of increasingly hazardous environments as you descend deeper and deeper into the Abyss.

One hint for those who hope for the longest expeditions is that if you want to go truly deep into the Abyss, you'll want to use Cloud and take on some debt to fund the expedition. However, it's also fine to do a more shallow expedtion, and maybe you don't want the pressure of having to pay off the debt at the end, in which case you may not want to spend so much at the beginning.

More options were added for using Relics to complete foraging jobs on layer 7. The Baying Gourmet will no longer appear at all if your party has 5 or more people, rather than you being able to instantly scare them off with 5 or more people. Some small typo corrections and wording changes.

0.8.1 Added functionality to the Brave Vector to act as a gun if you take it to the Relic Workshop for modification. The Relic Workshop is now fully accesible from commerce balloons. There are now descriptive scenes when you first obtain some curses, such as Hair Removal, Knife-ear, Freckle Speckle, and Gooey (more are planned to be added later). Placeholder conversations with companions are no longer visible to players. A few typos have been fixed in multiple passages and conversations.

0.8.02 Added conversation icon images to folder

0.8.01 Removed debug options, fixed spacing in a few passages

Version 0.8.0 is one of the biggest updates the game has ever had, with a huge number of changes and new features!

First, layer 7 is now implemented!

There is now a conversation system for talking with companions! Initial introductory conversations with companions have been added, plus a few more conversations when you build up enough familiarity with them. You can also wear the Heart Stealing Stole to improve your affection scores much more quickly! If you reach critical affection levels, you can get bonus meals from Maru or extra scavenging from Cloud. You can also promise the World Stone to Lily for more affection with a unique conversation.

Many Relics now have gameplay applications! This includes the Kin Shifter, the Forbidden Grimoire, the Gleam Dazer, the Everheavea, the Sybil Tea, the Chain of Lorelei, the World Stone, and the Heart-Stealing Stole. Plus a number of Relics have specific applications in the "foraging" options on the new 7th layer!

Different endings based on a number of variables are now available for the surface! These possible futures give you a hint of what awaits you after the end of your adventure.

You can now use the Relic Workshop as a location on the surface to get unique uses out of Relics like the Romer Stones and the Creepy Doll!

The Inn Room is now a location on the surface you can visit to eat your fill of food and water to save on those resources for the day.

Your carry weight now changes dynamically based on things like your size, gender, and fitness. It changes to reflect the current state of your own body!

Items in the store now show an image when you buy them.

Fitness is now tracked and related to carry weight, and you can improve your fitness over time through the natural execise of the expedition or by using the World Stone every day.

Plus many more small changes and bug fixes, plus some significant under the hood updates.

I hope you all enjoy the new update and let me know what you think of the new systems and features!

Fixed bug with dizzying heights being non-functional when taken with Cherry's ability. Fixed feline scene in layer 2. Fixed random curse issues on layer 2. Fixed bug related to starting female. Fixed height calculations for originally female characters. Changed rounding method to round down for relic costs under chaotic luck. Fixed pearly gate relic time cost. Fixed curse corruption being improperly calculated with chaotic luck for some layers.

0.7.92 Fixed bug with height after using Quick Start

0.7.91 Added event for when you pick up the Hive Tassel relic on layer 1. Fixed bug with picking up relics on layer 6 teleporting you to layer 3. Fixed bug with the easy mode companion token not functioning properly.

Version 0.7.9 is a significant update and lays the groundwork for adding the next layer and future expansions!

There are a number of new features and improvements added in this version:

Easy mode added, improved description of hard mode

Escape balloon fully implemented

Relic descriptions and images can now be viewed in your inventory (please let me know if you see typos here, I typed all the descriptions quickly manually, so minor errors are likely)

Opportunistic bandits encounter implemented

New system for dynamic height management that changes as your age/gender change too (thanks to Ilse91 for the huge help here and with other features)

New systems for dynamic pronouns and evaluations of apparent humanity and lewdness for future use

Breast size now reduces if your apparent age regresses

A new ending system is implemented with many possible variations of endings based on your dubloons, lewdness, appparent humanity, and apparent age. There are currently placeholder endings for the surface and layer 1, revisions expected in the future as I take some time to edit and revise the endings generously supplied by Ilse91

Additionally there have been a number of bug fixes, such as errors when using the quick start feature and height concatenation after taking the dizzying heights curse.

0.7.7 Added "Quick Start" option which should allow returning players to skip some of the intro dialogue after character creation. Improved shop display so it now shows current carried weight and team carrying capacity as you buy goods. Items that don't have any benefit for multiples will now automatically buy 1 copy. You can now only take the Empty-handed Broker's deal if your corruption ponts after the deal would be greater than 0 to prevent a loop. Fixed typo when hiring Cloud. Changed "New Game+" to "Hard Mode" for clarity. Added descriptions saying you spent time seeking out wonders on the first few layers for clarity. Fixed bugs with food mutations and layer 6 curses on the appearance menu. Fixed bugs with Cherry on layer 5 and 6. Fixed bug with using the workshop through a commerce balloon.

0.7.6 Current layer number is now displayed in the sidebar. The Inn Pass now causes your food and water to refill to 0 if you were starving before getting to the surface. You can now turn off the benefits of the encclopedia/Saeko if you want the side effects of foraging by going to the adjustments menu and turning off abyssal knowledge. A certain tunnel now sends dubloons in addition to items to the surface. Fixed many errors with curses on layer 6. Fixed issue with backgrounds on case sensitive OSes like Linux. Fixed rope travel time from layer 4 to 5. Fixed error when filling flasks on layer 1.

0.7.51 Fixed error on layer 2 main area

0.7.5 is a moderately sized update, with some new features and improvements to existing content!

Most importantly, almost all food transformations have been implemented! This includes logic for if you have Abyssal expertise in your party. The only one not implemented is a certain food on layer 6. This was a commonly requested feature, so I hope players enjoy it!

Additionally, there are a few more random descriptions for layer 3 describing a bit of the ecosystem there. There is also a new passage for the creepy doll on the first layer, describing how you find it with some variants based on player apparent age and for some party members. (Thanks to julian1998hinck for that inspiration)

I think performance should be improved late game too, so if you're having issues with that let me know!

There have also been many bug fixes including infinite tentacle beasts on layer 5's descent to hell, broken crafting with purity tree planks, and broken retrieval of items from a certain tunnel with only 1 side. Plus some more errors that have been corrected!

0.7.1 You can now use the commerce balloon with purity wood and to retrieve items sent by a certain magical tunnel! Fixed being unable to take some curses on layer 6. Fixed errors on the main part of layer 2. Fixed typo in Cloud hire passage. Fixed miscalculation of relic cost with Cherry and Saeko in party.

Version 0.7.0 is now released!

This release contains layer 6! Prepare for a hellish experience in these deeper layers beyond the knowledge of previous explorers.

It also has a number of improvements to previous systems and the game in general. There are now random flavor descriptions that can appear on the surface and first 2 layers, with some events only occuring with certain companions present. I'm planning to add these to the rest of the layers and I'm open to suggestions for ideas for them! Additionally, sold relics can no longer be picked up again after you picked them up once. There is now a new Use Items menu on the main part of each layer that contains a menu for usable items and the stat adjustment screen, this is where I will add relics with specific uses in the future. You can also no longer exit the Abyss unless you have 0 or more corruption points.

There have also been a number of bug fixes that should reduce the amount of errors people encounter throughout the game! A bug with random curses was fixed. A bug with cherry of layer 5 was fixed. A bug with picking up the empath coil was fixed.

0.6.1 Added descriptions for many more curses! Curse descriptions are now compatible with Cherry and can be removed properly by wonders. Fixed a bug with layer 5 cherry. Fixed a bug with multiple layer 5 curses. Fixed an error when carry weight was displayed after activating a certain relic. Fixed hemospectrum description in appearance menu.

Version 0.6.0 is here! This is one of the biggest updates yet, with a new layer and many QoL improvements and changes!

Layer 5 has been fully implemented!

You now have the option to allow the Abyss to bestow a random curse on your at each layer! Game Over screens have also been implemented in scenarios where you would die (mainly running out of food or water and then starving/dying of dehydration after a few days), giving you an option to go back if you would like to. You can now view details about items in your inventory similar to companions. The Spectre of the End is now implemented. Apparent age changes are now implemented! Many curses now give you a description of their effect on the appearance screen (currently only up to layer3 and doens't work with Cherry, will be expanded/fixed in a version soon).

There have also been many bug fixes, including some mentioned in the forums and some that haven't! Weight is now rounded to 1 decimal place in the stats menu and some bugs with Cherry were fixed.

0.5.3 Fixed selling relics with balloon, improved menu navigation with "back", fixed steady shrine not granting corruption, fixed sated artist time cost, fixed layer 4 habitation option, fixed Cherry giving a multitude of tails if you take a tail curse with her ability, fixed players being able to take both power dom and submissiveness, fixed conflict between birth control and pregnancy curses

0.5.2 Fixed layer 4 description, fixed bug with Cherry's ability on layer 3, added check for threats after picking up a relic, fixed broken tag on forage screen on layers 1 and 2.

0.5.1 Fixed typos on layer 4, fixed teleporting from layer 4 to 3 sometimes, fixed cherry's luck on layer 4, fixed gossamery scales not giving corruptino, fixed drifting swallower encounters resulting in infinite vore, fixed foraging food on layer 4 being reversed

0.5.0 Layer 4! Many bug fixes, body swappng implemented, improved selling interface

Introducing version 0.5.0, the newest major update!

This version introduces a fully implemented layer 4!

This version should also hopefully fix all of the annoying red errors that have been cropping up across the game for many players. It also fixes a variety of bugs reported in the forum thread and a few more that I noticed and people didn't mention yet. The major bugs with foraging for water for flasks and with selling relics have both been fixed. I think every bug reported to me has been fixed, but if I miss anyhing please let me know!

There have also been a number of QoL changes and improvements to previous features, For example, the fate-crossing star now properly switches your appearance with the companion whose body you swapped into (thanks so much to dogflail for helping with writing the companion descriptions.) The sell menu for relics has also been streamlined and now shows the value of the relics you're selling in the menu (thanks to Stadler for the improvement suggestion).

0.4.7 Fixed bug with broken links on the curse acceptance pages. Fixed Cherry not correctly applying curses to appearance on layer 3. Hopefully finally fixed interaction of sex switcheroo with other curses.

0.4.61 Fixed a bug with the back button reversing curses on layers 2 and 3, fixed broken script in sex switcheroo, fixed bug in relic back script on layers 2 and 3

0.4.6 Fixed a foraging bug on layer 2. Fixed a bug with Cherry's skill calculating corruption incorrectly.

0.4.53 Fixed layer 1 foraging shunting player to layer 3

0.4.52 Finally fixed all of the issues with red errors when changing floors with flasks.

0.4.51 Fixed bug with dizzying heights, fixed bug with heart-stealing stole

0.4.5 This is a minor content update, but has many bug fixes. Fully implemented the commerce balloon! Added wacky wombs choices to curse and wombs to appearance menu. Players can now take wacky wombs 2 times. Dramatically increased maximum breast size supported. Fixed interaction of sex change/futa fun with other curses, especially asset robustness. Fixed multiple bugs with foraging. Fixed being unable to refill flasks with foraged water. Fixed submissiveness A not registering properly. Fixed broken scripts on some relic checks. Fixed bug with drinking from flasks when moving between layers resulting in a large number of errors.

0.4.2 Added adjustment options for food and water. Fixed bug with foraging between layers 1 and 2. Fixed bug with stats/inventory/appearance causing resource loss on certain pages. Added warning when using the adjustment menu may cause bug with unwanted resource loss.

0.4.1 Fixed bug with dizzying height script errors, fixed bug with taking certain relics on layer 2, fixed bug of no return from the appearance menu, fixed maximum fluff creating tails out of nowhere and not giving fur

Introducing version 0.4.0, which has a number of great features I think people here will like added to it!

First is that I have added an appearance system! There is now a simple character creator at the start of the game, and the appearance menu changes dynamically as you take curses that change your physical appearance.

I also fully implemened the 3rd layer of the Abyss! This comes with many new curses, relics, threats, and wonders to discover!

There have also been a number of QoL improvements, including showing key stats on the menu bar (thanks to hentaidark for that suggestion in his review). I also completely revamped the threat system, so it can now interrupt players moving between layers properly. The companions menu now shows a link to a page with the companion's name, picture, description, and any curses you've given them! I'd like to add a similar menu for curses and relics in the future, though that will take a lot of rote work, so that is not high priority. There is now the option to "improvise" a number of key equipment parts, such as a rope, light, heat source, or cutting instrument in the "adjustments" menu, in case you have a creative idea to get to a relic I didn't account for already. I also added images in a few new places and fixed a number of bugs.

0.4.0 Layer 3 added. Dynamic ppearance system added, now you create a character and it gets automatically modified by the curses you take. Companion view page added. Many QoL changes, including key stats easily viewable in side bar. Many bug fixes and some images added.

0.3.4 Fixed players being able to take sex switcheroo and futa fun at the same time. Implemented Baying Gourmet. Fixed various time costs of wonders and travel. Implemented status effects and medkits. More detailed foraging options.

0.3.3 Fixed a bug that prevented getting any dubloons for selling relics. Fixed bug with music playback after using back button. Fixed bug with counter for dizzying heights. Fixed bug that allowed players to take Shrunken Assets and Asset Robustness A

0.3.2 Fixed a bug that forced you to the first layer after selling relics

0.3.1 Fixed bug with buying food/water, flask number management, and a few other minor bugs

0.3.0 Surface and first 2 layers implemented



Review by Saprophyte

Version reviewed: 0.9.8.2 on 10/23/2023


I loved the basic premise of diving into fetish hell to retrieve artifacts in exchange for parts of the protagonist's psyche. Very fun idea, and picking kinky abyssal curses for the protagonist to later exchange for relics is thrilling.

Sadly, on top of that idea is a management simulator that I very much did not like. Tracking food and water, particularly the extremely opaque water system with negative numbers of water flasks carried, inexplicable foraging giving random amounts of food, selling relics with absolutely absurd monetary returns per corruption gained, always being short on every consumable, the local fauna and flora attacking the protagonist only for their hijinks to force them to spend extra days on the dive, run out of aforementioned food and water and die - I enjoyed none of it, and I don't feel it adds anything to the experience, especially because it often feels random and always unpredictable. Some of the data you need for planning the game hides in hazard descriptions (written in the tiniest of fonts), some it doesn't communicate at all (like, if your expedition is carrying too much, you're supposedly slowed down, and you get a warning in red at the top of your screen - but at no point are you clearly informed of the actual mechanical impact of that fact). Finally, certain amounts of data needed for the planning are in the texts you're presented when helldiving - put penning them down and working up schedules and consumable usage graphs is certainly not something I look for in my porn games. I found the issue fixable in the end, though: while there's no setting to remove these hurdles, changing the starting gold to something outrageous in the html code (any text editor works for that) is a simple fix that works well.

One thing I liked a lot is the variety of curses you can pick for the protagonist. The game does sometimes describe their effects, and the descriptions are good - there's even some interaction between curses coded in, and some depend on whether you have companions in your party. I just wish these descriptions were shown the moment you picked the curse, not later, randomly (if anything, further effects of the curses as applied to hell-diving specifically could be shown then). Similarly, if you retire your character after going all the way up from hell, the game tries to customize its description of the outcome based on the curses you picked, but I feel this too could be made a lot better if the same effort spent writing the curse effect descriptions was applied here.

One part of the core game loop I did not enjoy were the relics. You see, some of them are clearly intended to have mechanical impact, others apparently are not - but they're not sorted in any obvious way, and the flowery descriptions hardly clear the issue of which are which. For what it's worth, some of the relics (like an indistructable shield) do not have any impact when by all reason they should. The issue is alleviated by "use the relics the protagonists have in a way not foreseen by the dev" option when dealing with layer hazards, but as for me, the ambiguity is still more than a bit grating. Furthermore, the abyss is apparently trying to corrupt the protagonist into sexual depravity, which is obviously reflected in the nature of the curses (and some of the hazards), yet not at all in vast majority of the relics. Finally, relics can apparently be combined on the surface, but with the game giving no hint of what exactly might be combined, I can hardly imagine anyone using this mechanic, minding that every relic costs a noticeable amount of corruption to get, which precludes bruteforce guessing. This seems to be a leftover from the game's origins - 4chan threads would be my guess, also visible in relic descriptions referencing other relics from other layers as if the player has these easily available the way a thread reader would.

Finally, the game allows you to hire companions - a mechanic for these who unlike me enjoyed the management simulator. Perhaps they might find whatever limited interactions with the companions themselves there are in the game enjoyable also. 

All in all, the game is not without its own annoying shortcomings, but carried by the strong core idea, and quite enjoyable to play if you're not shy to fix a couple lines in an html. 7/10, and a game to add to update subscriptions.

This game was frustrating to play because it has a lot of breadth, but ironically desperately needs some depth.

There's a lot of curses in this game, but disappointingly few of them actually have any impact on the game - no mechanical impact, no unique scenes, nothing. This is partially because you have no stats other than height(which is considerably more important than it seems, influencing carrying capacity and the difficulty of some of the last-layer encounters) and carrying capacity, but it's still disappointing to see the impact of most of your curses relegated to a paragraph in your character description.

Similar happens with the effects of the food/water you can forage throughout the layers - a handful will adjust things like height, but most of them don't do anything outside character description flavor text. You'd think your character's adventure would be a bit different after turning 70% of their body into an erogenous zone, but you'd be wrong.

The relics you're hunting for also suffer from having a huge variety and little reason to care about 99% of it. The corruption cost is too punishing to grab anything but the most valuable things+the small handful of relics that actually do something useful, and none of them have any sexy content to care about. There's nominally an icon to show which relics do something in-game, but this includes ones that simply grant you a few affection points for a specific companion, so it's not very useful in practice.

Speaking of companions, they do at least all seem to have some direct mechanical benefit, but disappoint in their actual interactions. Not to put too fine of a point on it, but this is a porn game and I was expecting more porn from the companion interactions. I honestly haven't seen any, but looking at the changelog, sex scenes supposedly exist.

RE: Cheating. The dev does, to their credit, make this very easy and painless to do(despite the game's weird insistence that you're absolutely not supposed to cheat or else), but it's unfortunate that the game is bordering on requiring cheating to be playable for extended periods. Corruption costs simply rack up far too fast for you to make it too long otherwise, and relics aren't valuable enough to sustain the food/water you need for layers that you can't(or don't want to)forage them in, let alone other consumables like medkits and balloons. Things also can break in Interesting ways that may require cheating to fix(such as water count going negative, somehow)

 

tl;dr: Many interesting ideas, no follow-through, too light on the actual erotic content, bad game balance.

0.9.8 update:
Now requires the AI multimedia tag. Dissapointing to see another game tempted down this path, but at least they're open about it.

0.9.6.2 review:

A remarkably compelling game; I love that 'rule of cool' is always an option. That is to say that the game is built to handle the player coming up with their own explanation for how events unfold, as between encounteres you have the option to adjust your stats or during encounters, you can use "your combined skills and relics" to come up with your own solution. Feels very much like a TTRPG and being able to convince the DM to let you get away (or be punished for) some ridiculous plan!

Further, you can choose to randomise curses or pick and choose what happens to the player, which further tailors the experience to what you prefer.

 

Not everything can be hand-waved away without consequence (especially in deeper encounters; looking at you level 8), but the level of agency the player has over their adventure is amazing~

--

My only real complaint is that by late-game descriptions can become tediously long, correlating with the increasingly fantastical powers each new relic/wonder grants. There may be something to be said for the finite nature of palletable curses or that not all 'interesting' relics can be used, but what is there is plenty sufficient, and the 'rule of cool' options can help address gaps in functionality.

Worth a try! (Thankfully no knowledge of the other 'Abyss' series is needed to enjoy!)

This game is much improved since the last time I commented on it; as best I can tell, all the "double-click to edit" not-links have been edited away. There are still a number of bits whose absence is puzzling, however. Like, one of the Relics is supposed to make people accept you as you are, and it doesn't seem to do that. Like, the mechanical/robotic level of the Abyss might reasonably be expected to have robotization as a curse, and it doesn't. [shrug] Still and all, a decent game.

Old review: I don't get it. So many links bring up a "Double-click to edit" message, which apparently requires you to hit the "back" button to get back to… where you can click something else which brings up "Double-click to edit". I have no idea whether I've just been unlucky enough to hit more of those messages than otherwise, or the game really is that incomplete, or what. [shrug]

Won't be playing this for at least one more version/upgrade.

The amount of time and effort that has gone into this game is amazing.  It's immersive and intriguing, and my hat's off to the developer!
