Some of the series’ best and most defining features are its setting and visual aesthetic, and are some of the reasons I became enamored with the series. While it manages to adapt a lot of the series’ excellent aspects, it, unfortunately, fails with many other important parts.įor those unfamiliar with the Made in Abyss, the series is set in a town called Orth, where a mysterious, fantastical and explorable giant pit known as The Abyss serves as its center point and significantly contributes to its economic and political affairs.Though incredibly dangerous, The Abyss houses artifacts of a lost civilization, and individuals who explore The Abyss for these relics are known as Cave Raiders.The game follows Riko, a young Cave Raider who one day finds Reg, a cyborg amnesiac boy with powers who accompanies her on a quest to find her mother, a high-ranking Cave Raider who’s lost somewhere deep in the Abyss. Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness is the new JRPG adaptation of the Made in Abyss anime and manga series that aims to portray the series and its visual and narrative excellence.
