Abide is a short, story-driven pixel-art adventure about Elias, a young knight of the Order of the Ledger, where every good deed is written down, and every failure too.

He sets out to earn his place. Two eager companions, Zeal and Honour, fall in beside him. He keeps a careful tally, measures himself against the worst man in town, and watches his score climb. Then it starts to fall.

A story in three acts about striving, comparison, and a rest that cannot be earned, with Scripture quotations from the World English Bible.
