About the Game

The humans from the Surface and the monsters from the Underlands can't agree on what year it is.

Soon, this little disagreement threatens to fracture their sense of reality and to rekindle long forgotten grudges.

A mysterious creature from the realms in-between is called upon to bring the two communities together. The Abyssal Diplomat will do its best. But will its best be enough?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Abyssal Diplomat is a surreal point & click game with a strong focus on narrative.

It is your job to help humans and monsters find common ground:

  • Explore the Surface and the Underlands.

  • Solve a series of interspecific conflicts. 

  • Play through simple mini-games and puzzles.

  • Listen to the thoughts of humans and monsters.

  • Enjoy a mixture of high poly and low poly 3D and a real puppet as the Diplomat.

  • Discover a unique musical score by the psychedelic rock-band Les Attitudes Spectrales.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With a playtime of 1-2 hours, The Abyssal Diplomat is perfect for players looking for a story- and atmosphere-heavy game that can be completed in one sitting. The puzzles are varied enough to be interesting for classic point & click fans while being easy enough to never block the progression for too long.
