The Abbey
A pacifist adventure game where every puzzle must be solved without violence, a bold constraint that either sounds refreshingly weird or tediously preachy, depending on your tolerance for moral game design.
GamerScout Verdict
A bold pacifist puzzle adventure worth trying if experimental constraints appeal to you more than traditional gameplay loops.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About The Abbey
The Abbey is a 2014 indie adventure that takes its title's commandment literally: you cannot kill anything, period. Every obstacle, enemy, or conflict demands a non-violent solution. It's a fascinating design choice that forces you to think sideways about puzzles and exploration instead of reaching for the obvious combat button. The real question is whether that constraint feels like creative limitation or annoying restriction. If you're drawn to games that mess with genre expectations and don't mind a rough-around-the-edges indie title from a decade ago, there's something genuinely worth poking at here. If you want combat, dialogue trees, or traditional adventure pacing, this isn't your game. It's a focused experiment, not a full-featured experience.
