Dived into the Abyss Yet?

For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Made in Abyss originated as a manga in 2012, crafted by Akihito Tsukushi and serialized on Web Comic Gamma. The story follows Riko, a young orphan residing in the town of Orth, which encircles a vast vertical chasm known as the Abyss. This mysterious pit is teeming with ancient technology, bizarre creatures, and a chilling mystery that engulfs those who dare to explore its depths. Riko, inspired by her mother Lyza—a legendary White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished in the Abyss—embarks on a perilous journey.

Along her way, Riko encounters Reg, a half-robot boy with amnesia. Together, they delve deeper into the Abyss, fully aware that their journey might be a one-way trip. The manga's gripping narrative was later adapted into an anime in 2017, followed by a sequel film, Dawn of the Deep Soul, released in Japan in 2020. Additionally, in 2022, Chime Corporation brought the story to consoles and PCs with the RPG, Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness.
