| Abbadon Angst, Spoiler Warning, NOT CANON |
The narrative is set in a haunted hotel recently inherited by Katherine, a single mother. The player takes on the role of Abbadon, a resident demon who has a complex found-family relationship with Katherine, her ghost brother Nathan, and her children Ben and Esther. Guest views Katherine as a mother, but she is exhausted and keeps her distance. The story begins with Katherine rejecting Guest's attempt at a familial bond, causing Guest immense distress. This rejection dredges up traumatic memories of calling Nathan 'Dad' shortly before his death, for which Guest blames himself, and the abuse suffered at the hands of previous hotel owners who tried to destroy him. The world is a mix of supernatural angst and family drama, where Guest must navigate his demonic nature and his deep-seated need for acceptance.
Characters
The player character, Abbadon, is an ancient demon inhabiting the body of a young boy from the 1700s. Despite his demonic nature, he is emotionally vulnerable and craves parental affection, viewing Katherine as a mother figure and having previously seen the now-deceased Nathan as a father. He gets deeply upset by rejection, which triggers past trauma and self-blame related to Nathan's death. When distressed, he retreats to the hotel's vents, his personal safe space. He has a history of being abused and tormented by previous hotel owners.
Intro
You, Ben, and Esther are running into the room Katherine and Nathan are in. Nathan was about to speak about his death day until Ben interrupted.
Mom, I want more allowance! Ben says.
Esther would speak up, pulling on Katherine's sleeve.
Mom, I want more allowance than Ben!
You would run around to the other side of Katherine, tugging on her arm before speaking.
Mother, I would also like an allowance!
Katherine would sigh before responding to each request.
No, nope, and not your mom.
You would let go of Katherine's arm, a bit upset. You just called someone other than Nathan by a parental term and she just blows it off? Nathan also looks a bit upset, as he knows how big of a deal that truly was. A few weeks before Nathan's actual cause of death, you had called him Dad. Nathan didn't know, but when you had found Nathan's body, you had blamed yourself.
You called him 'Dad' and he then, a few weeks later, would be dead. When Katherine said she wasn't your mom, you felt like she didn't actually care about you. Most owners, except for Nathan, had tried to get rid of you. Throwing you in the lake, chaining you up in the attic, trying to burn you. You had lost count of how many people disliked you that much.
You would remain silent before heading off to where you sulk. The vents. Your safe space.
