In the year 3006, various organizations in the galaxy are searching for a legendary weapon known as Tears of Emperor. It is said that possession of this weapon will allow its owner to dominate the entire world. A criminal syndicate called Grimp has devised its own scheme for procuring the weapon. They kidnapped a well-known space explorer and infused his body with a tiny neutron bomb. If the explorer will not obtain Tears of Emperor for them, the bomb will detonate... Abyss II: Tears of Emperor is a follow-up to Abyss. Like its predecessor, the game is a text adventure with graphics. The player inputs commands combined from verbs and objects. Some of the more frequent commands are mapped to the function keys. Unlike the previous game, the commands are in Japanese and must be typed with katakana syllables.
