The graphics are very well done in Operation Abyss. It’s very reminiscent of a dark anime. While the dungeons are dark and scary, the world around is quite the opposite. It’s light and full of color. The Xth organization that you are going to work for, along with the help of the police force, want to try and keep the knowledge of the scariness that is going on around them secret, so the real world is going on with its bright and happy world as if everything is normal.
Your characters are quite detailed and very well done. You can customize looks if you want, but personally, I just played with the default. If you decide to customize, there are a lot of choices. You can only be between the ages of 12 and 19, but that seems to be the only limitation. Considering the amount of choices available for mask, hair style, face, eye color, and many more, you can pretty much make a character who looks like anything you want. I loved the detail in the variants even more than the characters! You can tell what they are supposed to resemble from the human world by the way they look and sometimes by their actions. Their lines are highly amusing.
A lot of times in games, I tend to turn off the music and listen to whatever I want. Since the characters speak out loud and, for the most part, I really loved the voicework, I was listening to the background music too, with one exception. The music when you’re in the abysses is really creepy! I found that when I was home alone at night, I did not want to keep that music on. It definitely sets the mood for an abyss.
