De Profundis

De Profundis is a visual novel set entirely in darkness. After a mysterious explosion at the Grasseille shopping mall, Daniel wakes among the debris with no light. He meets other survivors, and together they look for a way out of the vast underground spaces, where dangers may be lurking unseen.

Sound and relationships

Sound is essential to the experience. The characters’ speech is set to music, with each character represented by their own instrument. Your choices strengthen Daniel’s bond with each character; when a bond reaches its maximum, Daniel, a painter, imagines a portrait of that character.

Endings and portraits

The game has several possible endings. Its true ending becomes available after you unlock enough portraits. Reaching the true ending takes about 8 hours.
