basically sachiel is the mc of a rpgmaker game called diegesis (used to be called crime and punishment but i changed it iudshfuis tho it’s a p big motif still). basically the player opens this game and sachiel talks directly to the player, knowing theyre a player, and tells them someone has killed god and tht the player is on a quest to find out who did it.
sachiel is the first member of an rpg party, and you go through a bunch of quests to get viorel, a human who sachiel drags along, kasdaye, a fallen angel, sandalphon, a risen demon (a demon who became an angel), levi, a demon and amy, also a demon, very late game & optional.
basically the world is like. falling apart. it’s literally glitching and cracking at the edges, and there’s like. code running through parts of it. it’s obviously either breaking at the edges or was very badly coded in the first place.
sachiel basically leads the player on this . long winded chase, and sandalphon is looking for his brother, metatron, who went missing when god died. it looks like metatron killed god and like . disappeared after that.
basically there’s a lot more to it. and some really like. kinda chilling sidequests. (like sandalphon confronting belial, a demon he used to know who is cutting up the bodies of angels who committed sui/ci/de after god died and selling them to humans as premium meat) and you have to do all the sidequests and get amy in your party for the true end.
there’s three endings and basically you find out tht sachiel and metatron were gods right and left hand men and suffered literally millions of years of abuse at his hands and eventually snapped and killed him together. and sachiel, who did the actual deed, had their sense of morality stripped away from them and put into the form of a rabbit who follows them around, and became aware that they were in a video game and had basically fucked up literally everything, and metatron was cast down and had his memories removed and was made to think tht he was a human called viorel.
the world is breaking apart bcs the story originally written doesnt function w/o god in it, and sachiel and metatron ruined that by killing him. the original story was a really shitty tropey bullshit about a war between Obviously Good angels and Obviously Evil demons, and most of the demons in the party ended up dying in it and all the characters who w/o the heternormative cover of the script are obviously gay were forced into heterosexual relationships and as the characters read the script they realise tht even tho the worlds breaking apart and tons and tons of angels died bcs god died, they’re all happier as PEOPLE for it. it’s commentary on shitty and tropey and cishet character writing.
the only way to fix the world is to make someone else god, so tht the story has a god in it, but god became cruel and abusive originally bcs of the weight of being omnipotent within the story, so whoever becomes god will inevitably crumble under its weight as well.
in the bad ending they decide to let the world disappear bcs they’d rather die as themselves rather than sacrifice who they are now and watch one of them deteriorate for a the sake of a shitty story. the good ending is metatron becomes god and asks sachiel to kill him and find someone else to become god after him after he inevitably becomes cruel. sachiel, who hasn’t shown negative emotion aside from maybe anger throughout the story breaks down in tears and begs him not to, but he does anyway. (yes metatron and sachiel are gay people). the scene closes with sachiel shooting the rabbit who holds their last scraps of their morality, and turning back to watch metatron ascend. the good and true ending is when all the sidequests are done, and ALL the characters, not just sachiel, become aware of the player. the player can offer, as basically. a god above the gods in the story, bcs they’ve proven tht they care about these characters by going through every single sidequest, to plug the hole in the world that lets them look through, that god would have occupied. the drawback is that they cannot see this world again. if they want to play the game they have to delete their data, resetting the world. but if they let the story and characters go, then the characters can live in a stable world without god. the player just won’t see it, because their window into the world is closed.
anyway thats the basics of diegesis theres a lot more to it and some lore too but. there thts sachiel’s story
