    ”A Nod to Lovecraft Horror Experience and Question of Morality” Savior of the Abyss (SotA) is indie horror adventure game developed by small Korean team.

Guiding Stella to escape the nightmare and avoid unknown threats is the ultimate goal of this game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2587958912 As you progress through the level…

    This game is probably worth $6. That being said, it is a at times easy, at times hard, at times a rage inducing pile of garbage that may make you throw your PC from the first available flight aboard Virgin Galactic space ship. There is a puzzle that leaves much to be desired in the way of hints. There are Medusa type snakes that leave rage boiling in the bottom of your soul, and a purple people eater. If your looking for jump scares, maybe 2 or 3. If your looking for fun, I dont know if…

    First and foremost, I'd like to thank my friend for buying me this game. Savior of the Abyss is an RPGMaker game about a young girl named Stella. She awakes in a dark and ominous room and with no idea what she's doing there, decides to explore the strange facility to find a way out. Let's start with the art first. It's the main thing that drew my attention to this title. It's stunning, dark and eerie - just up my alley. It's in that cute pixel form we all know and perhaps love that is…

    Savior of the Abyss feels like someones first attempt at making a horror game. Good and potentially interesting ideas are clearly recognizable but the execution is more than just a little lacking. For one the fact that outside of a few select scenes the game is completely devoid of music or even ambient sound really hinders it in being an immersive experience. Especially in the genre of horror this lack of immersion presents a problem since a large reason as to why we perceive things as scary…

    It's rare that I dislike games enough that I need to write negative reviews, but this game is bad enough that I feel it's for the best. I usually enjoy games like this. RPGMaker-style adventure psychological horrors with underlying plots and a lot of exploring are usually fun for me and I enjoy learning and exploring the lore. However, despite this game seeming like it would be similar, it's poorly executed enough that it's hard to truly enjoy. The game itself is buggy. It's made in the Unity…

    Tried it for about an hour until I got to this puzzle where you need to count some stuff before a bloody F. No matter how many times I entered the code counting up all the stuff on a bloody memo, still couldn't get unlock the door. I'll be real, its probably my first filter I couldn't get past with this game, so for now I'm just gonna give my initial thoughts on the matter: Game seems a little jank. Used an Xbox One controller and I noticed the MC tended to walk slightly to the right, giving me…

    A good and short Lovecraft-inspired horror game that reminds of older RPG Maker horror games, while it's not perfect, it shows the developers have the potential if they would create similar games of this style in the future that seem to be lacking attention in recent years.

    Very mixed feelings about this. I loved the instant death mechanic, just like in Witchs House or Misao, and it has enough save points to not make it frustrating. It was good for what it offered, but the ending was just way too rushed and abrupt. It felt like a stretched demo where they had to add a fast ending. Wasted potential here.

    This game has a lot of problems. The translation starts out a little wonky and gets shoddier the further into the game you go. There's even an item description that's just the name of the item with underscores and a lot of endgame items don't have real descriptions at all. Unlike the games it cites as inspiration, Savior of the Abyss doesn't have any compelling mystery to it (e.g. "Why am I trapped in a witch's house?", "What is going on with Father?"), nor does it have engaging characters.…

    This is more of a neutral than positive/negative review, though I'm forced to choose so I'll round up. Savior of the Abyss is not your typical RPG horror game. Movement isn't tile based, rather it's free. Game contains unique deaths, many of them are surprising (good kind of surprise). It gets confusing at times but not so bad that you want to pull your hair out. The biggest issue I have with this game is very poor translation. It's worse than putting Chinese directly into google translate. I'm…

    I really wanted to like this game. It has a lot of great ideas. But the game is so quiet, you never feel immersed and it feels quite empty. I really hope they do a bit of work to add some more sound & music & ambiance because the game will hook you then. The awfulness of the english translation really took me out of the game too. The entire time you're in playing the game there's a "Cancle" button. Really needed editing on the localization. Once I got to a certain point where I wasn't sure…

    Ok after playing this game for 1 hour more, this is my opinion about this game. This game has an interesting concept but unfortunately this game is not that long to finish, when I played the demo, I thought this game would be made more refined after its release but apparently no, this is natural because only a few people make this game. Ok for the gameplay you will see this game as if it was made using RPGmaker like misao, corpseparty, and etc, but no, this game is made with the unity engine,…

    Fun, short murder-house exploration game with good environments and some engaging story ideas. I really enjoyed the feeling of creeping through the hallways, never knowing if I was about to brutally die or find another piece of the puzzle. Some encounters were frustrating, but all were doable and led to some interesting endings. The Blood Compass, as well as the tainted blood of certain sacrifices, was a really interesting thread. There are some ui and translation issues, but I didn't feel like…

    + Nice graphic - The story was pretty much about nothing - Puzzles were boring (and even frustrating sometimes!) - Uninteresting gameplay Aaand that's it. There isn't pretty much anything. I was really disappointed, because I looked forward to playing this game. But my expectations were too high. Puzzles and gameplay is similar to games like Mad Father or Misao, etc. despite being more boring and unexciting. In the end I think that this game is not worth 5,69€.

    This was a really interesting and neat game. It's short - took me around 3 hours - but personally I'd say it's worth the $6 (I got it on sale for $4). The beginning isn't the greatest, I'll be honest, but it does a good job setting up and explaining the game play without a hand held tutorial. The story is pretty interesting and the atmosphere is unsettling. It's not very "scary" but definitely creepy - which is what I both expected and was looking for. I know some people complained about some…

    I DEFINITELY recommend this game if you are in to these type of RPG horror games. Really cool to figure out all the little ways to die (accidentally died a lot) however, the story is pretty good! Very much like corpse party in a sense with all the blood and gore. One thing I did notice is, there is no background noise to create a creepy atmosphere. Although this doesn't take too much away from the game, the game would be even better if some background sounds/music was added. Some of the later…

    I enjoyed the scares and the silly ways to die, but its missing a little atmosphere like background noise. Otherwise i like the story you are trying to tell. Short and to the point without straight up giving you direction. Puzzles seemed a little spread out but wasn't overly difficult. A fine job. Cant wait to see what else you make.

    It's a nice experience. Nice in the sense of a top down horror jrpg. Only a few translation errors, but won't take away from the dialogue. If you liked Witch's House, you might enjoy this as well. A few trial and error parts with some deaths, a few puzzles that are pretty good, definitely worth the $6. I got 2 of the 3 endings and I still want to try to figure out the 3rd.

The art style is nice, Monsters are gruesome, and will catch you off guard with a jumpscare or two. Thankfully, the game isn't riddled with them enough to be a problem. The environment definitely looks the part, with debris littering the place, blood in places it shouldn't be, and all manners of gross stuff coming out of the walls. You are alone, are in danger,…

    TL;DR - Cute anime girl runaround the research facility to survive the nightmare and creature. If you have spare money and time to kill then not a bad choice to try it. Translation a bit off right now so it make story hard to understanding. Overall the game itself not that bad pretty straight forward with multiple ending. The puzzle isn't hard but the hint is make the player confused sometime. Horror in this game combine with sound is quite good.
