Before playing, ask your child if they have ever lost someone they cared about, and let them know this game explores those feelings in a thoughtful way. Play together if possible — the French narrative and grief themes make it an excellent springboard for real conversations about loss, emotions, and resilience.

The narrative centers on David grieving his deceased wife — both named characters are gendered, but the wife is absent and no dialogue between two named female characters occurs.
Föräldratips
Co-playing this short narrative game (roughly 20–40 minutes) turns it into a guided emotional literacy lesson. Pausing to discuss each phase of grief David experiences can help children build vocabulary for their own feelings and normalize the grieving process — benefits that extend well beyond the screen.
Vad ditt barn utvecklar
In Abyssam is a rare example of a 'serious game' designed explicitly to teach emotional intelligence. Its greatest strength lies in helping players — particularly older children, teens, and adults — understand the stages of grief and healthy coping mechanisms. The empathy and emotional regulation benefits are substantial: players inhabit David's perspective and are guided through loss in a safe, reflective space. The French-language narrative gives it meaningful reading and language engagement, and the real-world psychological framework (e.g., Kübler-Ross stages) makes learning transfer to lived experience genuinely plausible. For children who have experienced loss, or for families navigating bereavement, this game could serve as a gentle, low-pressure conversation starter.
