Major Update! Including a planned release date...
After a long, long, loooooooong period of working on improving Abscission's graphics, animations, story and structure, I finally have a planned release date - Q4 2023. I now have a relatively stable alpha build of the full game from start to finish, and am now putting meat on the skeleton to improve the atmosphere and depth of the game. It has been a difficult journey to complete this game with no prior experience and a lot of other commitments (including a demanding full time job, kids, everything else a busy adult needs) but I finally feel I am in the home stretch.
I will be releasing a new version of the demo at some point soon, so that it will be more indicative of the final product. I will also be releasing the game on Steam (and potentially Epic) as well as Itch.io. My Steam page is already live, and includes a shiny new trailer (I will also add the trailer to this page).

Thank you to everyone who has been patient and supportive of my project, three years and counting, your kind words have kept Stanhope alive (for now...).
In a bit!

Great news, I am checking out this page every now and then for the news for past year and the half, Looking forward to this, all the best!
Hey Jake, I found you via the steam page and I am really super excited for this full release. I've just recorded a playthrough which I'm currently editing and should be up within the next week.
I may not be a 90's kid, but all my siblings are and I grew up on this stuff. Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Indiana Jones, Day of the Tentacle, and that one about the drillers in space (lol).
Anyway, I may be in the wrong here and have it backwards, but I belive the steam version is older than the current Itch.Io version. Either this or there's a bug on the steam version where the letter can't be opened as the "look" function is unavailable when the inventory is open.
Can't wait for the full release!!!
Hi Xuldris,
I think I need a tutorial screen, there is a SNEAKY EYEBALL in the bottom of the new inventory which helps you to look at something (it opens when you go over it), that should work with the letter. I got too sneaky hehe. I will sort a tutorial screen.
Finally some news!
Looking forward towards it
Glad to hear it!
That's great news! love this game! :)
Much appreciated! I really appreciated the exposure you gave my demo, I've given you a thank you in my game credits :)
Oh, awesome! Thank you very much!
