Made in Abyssis a game comprised of two level : " Hello Abyss " mode and " Deep in Abyss " way . The former is a retelling of the manga ’s first arc and introduce the characters , world , and mechanics present in the game while the latter is a wholly original write up . The main issue here is that " Hello Abyss , " despite being its own story , is really a 5 - 60 minutes tutorial that goes by lento and does n’t set player up for succeeder in the " Deep in Abyss " manner . The reason for this is that despite the cosmos of the foraging , weapon lastingness , and crafting organisation , players can dismiss most of them and still complete the first chronicle . What ’s worse is that for get the intend experience , players must play the " Deep in Abyss " mode which is only unlatched after completing " Hello Abyss . "

If this game was purely the " Deep in Abyss " mode , it would be a great action - endurance secret plan with elements of RPG mechanics and even some revulsion mixed in . However , the dividing line between the game modes both in gameplay and presentation is shocking and leaves one wonder why " Hello Abyss " needed to be a requirement to access what feel like the " actual game .
