Duet Night Abyss Launches October 28 with No Character Gacha

Duet Night Abyss launched on October 28, 2025, bringing a distinctive approach to free-to-play action RPG monetization. Developed by Hong Kong's Spiral Rising Technology, the game eliminated character gacha entirely (learn more about how this system works), allowing players to obtain all characters through in-game materials earned via quests and story progression.

The game's narrative followed dual protagonists from opposing societal positions—one a discriminated member of the Caron tribe, the other commanding imperial military forces. This asymmetrical perspective explored themes of systemic prejudice and class hierarchy within a steampunk-fantasy world where magic and machinery fused. The setting featured distinct upper and lower districts that visually reinforced the game's exploration of societal stratification.

Gameplay emphasized character progression without randomization, as identical equipment maintained identical stats. The system incorporated TRPG-style judgment checks during conversations that factored in character relationship values, adding depth to player choices. The absence of stamina restrictions allowed continuous story engagement without artificial gameplay barriers.

Monetization focused on cosmetic items and appearance customization rather than gameplay advantages. Players could optionally purchase acceleration for character acquisition, but all characters and weapons remained obtainable through standard gameplay rewards. The gacha system outputted primarily character appearance items and customization accessories, shifting spending away from gameplay necessity toward visual personalization.

The October 28 release brought the game simultaneously to iOS, Android, and PC platforms, with full cross-platform progression support. Players could experience the complete narrative and character roster without monetary investment, while cosmetic options provided ongoing revenue for the development team.
