About ABEL

Unsettled by a strange call on the intercom, Carl hastily takes the elevator down. When the doors open, he realizes he is not where he should be. An uncanny, strange yet familiar place lies before him.

ABEL is a narrative and contemplative walking simulator, telling the story of Carl, a man overrun by sadness and grief. Explore liminal spaces, manipulate objects and delve into the traumatic events that changed Carl's life forever.

ABEL is a student project, developed by a 5-persons team from CNAM-ENJMIN, in France. This short experience should last around 15 minutes. For an optimal experience, we strongly advise to use headphones and to play in a quiet setting.

[h1] To be honest I can't remember much from this one except it was a bit spooky and horror themed. Thus game was not very memorable probably because it was short and boring. Completed in 16 minutes sums up the whole experience. Better play Outlast or something really spooky instead of wasting time on something you can watch easily on YouTube. [/h1]

This was a pleasant little walking adventure through a brief internal narrative with some good atmospheric, liminal vibes.

[h3] The atmosphere is INEXPRESSIBLE. [/h3] It's a very beautiful game. Liminal spaces are fantastically portrayed. There's a thought-provoking storyline in. Oh, to sum it up, I highly recommend this one-evening game, and I hope to see more games from the developers in the future. =))
