The Dive

Seven layers. Twenty kilometers of darkness. One expedition into the unknown. Centuries ago, a meteorite tore through the earth, leaving behind an enormous, sloping abyss. Today, a thriving metropolis surrounds its entrance, built on the wealth, discoveries, and countless lives claimed by the depths below. You are an experienced human Diver, hired to guide a scientific expedition into the Abyss. Your employer is Vanessa Marlowe, a brilliant, endlessly curious catgirl xenobiologist with questionable survival instincts and an even more questionable sense of humor. Accompanying her is Jessica Veyr, a formidable demon mercenary armed with a spear, military discipline, and very little patience. Together, you'll descend through seven distinct layers, encountering bizarre ecosystems, ancient artifacts, unfamiliar civilizations, deadly predators, and phenomena that challenge everything you thought you knew about the world. What awaits you: - 🌌 Seven massive layers with unique environments and mysteries. - 🔬 Scientific exploration, strange creatures, and mysterious artifacts. - ⚔️ Dangerous encounters where preparation and creativity matter. - 🐈 Two distinct companions with their own personalities, motivations, and relationships. - 🧭 An open-ended adventure shaped by your decisions, not a predetermined path. The Abyss does not care whether you're a hero. It doesn't care whether you're brave, clever, or lucky. But somewhere beneath twenty kilometers of stone and darkness, something is waiting to be discovered. How deep are you willing to go? --- Early Release: The Dive is a narrative-focused exploration scenario currently being developed and refined. Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are welcome! --- From author itself: Hi! This is very raw version of my scenario. I have much more ideas on papper. So, if it will have attention, I'll start to add features like artifacts, monsters, creatures, mysteries and other. Most important - I didn't add the Core's story. It means, in current state it is impossible to reveal the secret of the Abyss. And YES, this scenario has been inspired by "Made in Abyss". One more thing, I do not undestand anything in 'Scripts', so I'll be glad to see your recomendations. Thank you for attention. And hey! Have a nice dive, Diver.
