The Accuser and The Abyss

It's unfortunate that I have to give this game a negative review, but I genuinely cannot recommend it. The voice acting sounds very much AI generated, which ruins the immersion. The story was nonsensical, and it wasn't enjoyable to read scene to scene. I also really don't appreciate the lack of warning about animal abuse, especially considering the fact that there is a content warning for "consumption of human fingers", but not animal abuse. I feel it definitely should be mentioned, especially with the sounds that accompany it. Overall, I cannot recommend this one bit, especially with all the good games there are to play, and especially at this price point.

Just a mess... The plot is abstract, and I can definitely appreciate that in other works but this is way, way too abstract. It's impossible to follow what's going on and the plot is straight up nonsensical most of the time. And it's casually nonsensical too, like what's revealed about halfway through the story: [spoiler]"Oh by the way you have a brain chip implanted in your head and you live in Atlantis."[/spoiler] Like huhh?? Did I miss a memo or something?? Plot aside the actual gameplay seems pretty busted. Or maybe it's intentional, it's hard to tell with the plot. But you can get stuck 'looping' choices until you pick the 'correct' one which is kinda frustrating. The font that's used is really, really unfriendly to read too. I do think the font fits the aesthetic of the game but it's just miserable to read, especially when the text is all caps, which it occasionally is. Oh, and the achievements are completely broken (as of the time of this review), just as the icing on the cake. The only thing I can give any praise to is the art and aesthetic. The art's super crisp and there's a fair amount of it so it's engaging in that sense. The aesthetic is actually what tempted me to pl…

ai voice acting is so cringe
