slonique, we really like the quality of your games.

We are interested in discussing some business possibilities with you. I wasn't able to send you a private message probably because my account is brand new. Please pm me for more details if you are interested.

Thanks so much.

Here are my thoughts on Abyss. First, I did something that I hate to do and downloaded a patron only version of v9 from the interwebs since it included a v9 walkthrough. The last public walkthrough on your page is for v2. You could change the status of some of the more recent walkthoughs to public.

As for the game, even with a walkthrough, I don't like the gameplay. There is no path through the game as far as I can tell. Pick all the good choices, get a star. Pick all the bad choices, get another star. Alternate your choices, get the third star. The game is a quest to find the stars. Then after I do a section, I often forget to look at the diary where it seems important information is being delivered, but not really as it doesn't affect your choices and responses in the next section you play.

Change some wardrobe and get a different set of images, sometimes with the same dialog, sometimes not. Sometimes the wardrobe choice makes no difference at all.

I don't think I can play as the evil uncle and corrupt her morals until she is under my control. I don't think I can play as the nice uncle who makes her fall in love with him. There doesn't seem to be consequences for either path.

Maybe remove the good / evil counter from the main display and mix up the choices so good is not always 1 and bad 2. Maybe launch her diary after every section so you have to read it, or make it an option to auto launch or not.

That being said, I like your images. I like the models and the settings. I can tell that a lot of work went into them. I like the dialog in the sections and the diary entries, even though I start to gloss over the section dialog as I speed through all good / all evil passes.

I noticed on your page that the game doesn't seem to work for you either and your are thinking about dropping it. Maybe you should rework it a little and make a different game reusing the text and images that you have worked so hard on.

I know that designing a game by yourself is hard work and I could not do it myself. You could try a game engine like Tlaero's Adventure Creator and make it more Graphic novel like and use your images and text while not having to design all the back end stuff.
