A big THANK YOU for reporting these bugs! There are so many interactions between variables that, despite all my testing, some things slipped through the cracks.

After three years of development, Sigh of the Abyss is ready to leave my screen and appear on yours.

The game is dark yet tender, cruel, hopeful—just like life, it has its moments of levity, of despair, of resilience. I hope you will enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it.
