Story of Heartsworn Abyss:

Rei Tsukiyora is a jaded man who runs a pawnshop in Miyogawa’s seedy underworld. One evening, he comes across a despondent Akari Hashimoto fleeing from her captors. Unable to abandon a young girl to the dangerous streets, Rei begrudgingly takes her in, offering her a reprieve until she gets her bearings in order.

One thing leads to another, however, Akari’s stay becomes more… permanent then he had envisioned. For Akari, who has only led a high-flying life, and for Rei, a man who lives off the skin of his teeth, life together is… manageable (if not amusing).

While Akari may have renounced her past life as a heiress, fate won’t let them go that easily. Akari’s entrancing looks and eminent status catch the eyes of Ryuichi Satou. As the head of Miyogawa’s largest company, he spares no resources on seducing her. An irate Ryuichi even accosts the pair at Rei’s residence, though Akari flatly rejects him.

Humiliated, the scorned prodigy concocts a grand scheme that will lead to the hostile takeover of Akari’s company, and eventually, her heart. He swears to sully every fiber of her innocence. As for Rei… Ryuichi vows to bury him in an everlasting abyss.

Player Comments of Heartsworn Abyss:

I really liked this game.One of the specific reasons I want to highlight is the cause behind the cheating scenes.These days on F95, I see a lot of cheating and Netorare games where the FMC cheats out of lust, meaning her love for the MC is called into question right in that moment, or I see games where blackmail scenarios are implemented so stupidly that you can't take the game or the characters seriously anymore.Here, however, we have Akari. She doesn't cheat out of lust. She isn't stupid; she weighs her options carefully. The situation is complex. She is strong and caring. She doesn't just instantly or quickly succumb to the bulls' cocks, nor does she devolve into a charisma-void slut who talks about nothing but cock day and night. Personally, I really appreciated her personality and the way the Netorare was implemented. Even the MC has a good personality—proving what I've always believed: you don't need a stupid, spineless, weak MC to make a top-tier Netorare game. This game is proof of that.I hope the scenes become animated in the future, though with this art quality, that might be a bit difficult.Other strengths of this game include the romance, art, writing, story, models, choices, originality, the tension within the scenes, and that atmosphere that immerses the player.A 5 out of 5, without a doubt.

This one’s a masterpiece, where to begin? The voice actress acts her heart out, and it’s nice to see an ntr game where there’s both a fleshed out resist path and corruption paths. Akari is charming, and isn’t a dumb floozy like most ntr heroines. The character designs are refreshing and human in an age of constant AI slop. For those of you who can support the dev, please do! I can’t wait to see Heartsworn Abyss all the way through to its conclusion, and hope that Sky Blue Easter can go on to make yet more masterworks.

this is really really good. probably the best first start on an ntr game in this site. lots of potential that i know if the dev got resources for, they could execute it.which is why im kind of sad when i see the likes of this f95 page, but i trust the dev.suggestions to the dev tho, he can ignore this: straightforward title could give this game a better visibility. all of the most successful tag specific games(like ntr, futa etc)have that.

Final words:

Heartsworn Abyss is an interactive visual novel. Key decisions will have to be made at several points in the story. Miyogawa is an enigmatic place replete with events that are both absurd and inevitable. Abase, betray, lie… do whatever it takes to get by. Only through tainting oneself can one hope to slog through the mire.
