About this game
Unsettled by a strange call on the intercom, Carl hastily takes the elevator down. When the doors open, he realizes he is not where he should be. An uncanny, strange yet familiar place lies before him.
ABEL is a narrative and contemplative walking simulator, telling the story of Carl, a man overrun by sadness and grief. Explore liminal spaces, manipulate objects and delve into the traumatic events that changed Carl's life forever.
ABEL is a student project, developed by a 5-persons team from CNAM-ENJMIN, in France. This short experience should last around 15 minutes. For an optimal experience, we strongly advise to use headphones and to play in a quiet setting.

Summer update - We heard your feedback !
Hey everyone ! Thanks for playing our game and giving us honest reviews. We've been working on adding a few things in order to take into account as much of your feedback as possible : - Gamepad control is now fully implemented - There is an option to remove motion blur, should this setting make you sick - A few overall bugfixes here and there Now some reviews were about our narrative and game decisions, and these will not change. As it was a student projet, we do not wish to alter it further and are deeply sorry for anyone who thought there was a branching path at some point. Carl's story is unmovable, and none of his decisions (nor the player's) can change how events happen. Thank you for reading and we hope you enjoy our latest build !Read full article on Community Announcements (Twn)
