New Character Rhythm: Flamewrought and New Weapons
She once governed her life by military discipline, until a lie swallowed even the name of the person she loved most.
She filled her days and nights with labor and sank the voice of her grief into exhaustion. She knocked on lost doors one after another, searching among the laments of strangers for the original resolve she had lost.
Now she no longer looks back. Carrying the weight of the dead, she keeps walking toward the light of dawn, one step at a time.

About Duet Night Abyss
All Characters and Weapons Free: Breaking the "Ceiling" of RPGs
This game overturns the conventions of conventional social games by completely abolishing character gacha, weapon gacha, and the stamina system. Characters can be obtained for free through gameplay, and weapons can also be obtained for free through the crafting system. Most content can be enjoyed without spending money.
Two Protagonists and a Multi-Angle Story
The story is set on a continent where magic and machines coexist. Players take on the roles of two protagonists with completely different identities and positions, meet various companions, and fight to survive while following the story from two perspectives.
Free Weapon Builds and All-Direction Battles
The weapon system lets every character use every weapon, and the battles are fast-paced action in which players can attack in all 360° directions. Free, stylish movement like parkour gives players the feeling of being released from gravity.
The "Demon Wedge" Growth System That Unlocks Potential
With the special growth system "Demon Wedge," players can strengthen and customize a character's skills and combat motions to suit their own preferences and play style. Notably, the Demon Wedges obtained from "Commission" (依頼) quests use a fixed-value system and can be used in common for all characters and weapons. This greatly reduces the cost of random-roll farming and repeat runs, making for a more comfortable play experience.
