Nihil

The Whispering Abyss

An idle game about earning insight and losing your mind.

An idle game in the Lovecraftian register. You stare into the void and it stares back; clicking it earns Insight, Insight can buy cultists and more, and every purchase drags you further from your senses. The trick is that madness is the price of progress — accumulate enough and the game takes you out of the equation entirely. There is hidden knowledge in the library to uncover as you go.

  • Insight buys followers; every follower deepens your madness - but you can fight back at the madness
  • Hit 80% madness tho and you black out — wards and candles claw you back
  • Or surrender to the void, and trade the whole run for upgrade points
  • Achievements, relics, traits, and progress while you are away
