Dear Abigail

Dear Abigail is a 2D platforming game which sees players take on the role of Abigail, a young woman learning to cope after the loss of her childhood friend, Cecelia. To overcome the shadows that haunt Abigail’s mind, players will journey forth with unique abilities that reflect the steps that Abigail takes on the path to healing. Uncover the relationship between Abigail and Cecelia through postcards as you progress through the stages of grief and experience the power of hope as you find your way to acceptance. 

The road to acceptance is a difficult one to tread, but, with persistence, it’s possible to face the shadows and walk into the light. Sometimes all it takes to make the first step on this journey is a memory, a moment in time frozen forever - a postcard from the past. It’s through these moments that we connect to what once was, hold it close, and carry it with us as we begin to see the path to what the future can hold. Experience the pain and beauty of lasting love as you journey through the darkness in Dear Abigail.
