    Shadow Bonds is an introduction to the world and characters of Sigh of the Abyss.

    You have been chained to a stranger, a boy foolish - or brave - enough to flee the gilded cage where magi are kept docile and pliant.

    The curse will kill you both unless you find a way to break it. Anyone else would already be dead, but not you - for you hear the ancient voice of the Abyss, and have been blessed - or cursed - with powers dark and terrible.

    Did the Abyss bestow upon you supernatural strength and agility? Do you have the power to manipulate the shadows and see what they see? Perhaps your dark gift is prying open the minds of others only to break them and have them do your bidding.

    Will you stay friends or seek something more? Learn more about your companions, see how they react to the curse placed upon you, accept or reject their aid. Shadow Bonds will give you a glimpse into the friendship and romance system of Sigh of the Abyss.

    I’m hard-pressed to say much negative about the short time I spent playing Sigh of the Abyss: Shadow Bonds Prologue. It does what it says on the tin rather impressively, setting the stage for the larger tale to come admirably. I would love for it to have been longer, but my short time with the game also makes me eager to see what direction Sigh of the Abyss will take in the future. It is an enjoyable, albeit brief, VN with some neat interactive points. I’d highly recommend playing it if you’re at all curious about Sigh of the Abyss or if you just want a short-but-entertaining fantasy visual novel to lose yourself in for an hour or two during any given playthrough.
