Right after the meeting concluded, as promised by the director, the official PV of the Snowflake Queen Camilla was uploaded to Eonix’s official VTube channel.
– Sneak Peek of New Skin (Snowflake Queen Camilla)
[The dancing Dancer Camilla does not stop her dance even in the middle of winter. With a special power that only emerges on the winter battlefield, she has transformed into a stronger and more powerful being than before. Snowflake Queen Camilla. Watch out for her dance moves! Just when you are entranced by her beauty, your feet will be frozen, immobilized.]
“Would you like to dance with me? Of course… if you make even a single misstep, you better be prepared.”
The PV video begins with a narration that most describe as a bit cringy, characteristic of Abyss.
It was subtly different from the in-game play video shown during the meeting.
The short video containing the character’s story and lore about the skin before the gameplay demonstration seemed to indirectly showcase how much effort Eonix has put into this skin.
It was a video that differed in both the beginning and length from previous PVs.
As if acknowledging the hard work of the production team, the view count began to skyrocket.
The most expensive new skin of the popular game Abyss, Snowflake Queen Camilla.
In just half a day, the PV video climbed to the trending video list amidst the praise of the people.
The reaction from the people was quite positive as well.

– Wow, they really squeezed Eonix for this skin? Looks like game companies need to be pressured to deliver results!

Reply: Because there’s demand…
-(07:12) Watching this, I really feel the effort Eonix put in. I majored in dance, so it’s amazing to see the movements I learned and often use at school! Camilla is so difficult that I hadn’t tried her until now, but with the beautiful new skin and familiar moves, I’m thinking about giving it a shot!
It’s so fascinating to see the moves that I’ve been learning and actually using! Haha, I’ve held off on Camilla because she seemed really tough, but now there’s a pretty new skin and the moves are getting familiar, so I’m thinking about giving her a try.
– Oh, older sister, ㅠㅠ you’re so cool!
– For real, I majored in street dance, and Camilla’s dance motions are so realistic that I get amazed every time I see them!
– According to a friend, Eonix is so drained from releasing Camilla that they haven’t touched her since.
– Ah, ㅋㅋ if they mess up the patch or skin, bugs just pop up!
– Is that your profile pic?
– Cozime? Cozime? Cozime? Cozime? Cozime? Cozime? Cozime?
– The author, Jeong Hye-rim, dares to take me, the 28th descendant of the Gyeongbuk Choi clan, Choi Pil-kyu!
– Pil-kyu-kyu…
And amidst all that, one particular comment that received a ton of likes and stood out with award-winning remarks:
– I’m happy. I’m a user of Camilla, and I’m happy because our game is a god game.
– Teacher, ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– Kayak! Kayak! Kayak! Kayak! Kayak! Kayak!
– Kayak is already thrilled about making a mad movie with Snowflake Queen Camilla, thumbs up!
– I hope Kayak dubs the Snowflake Queen’s lines!
– Who is this person with so many likes? Are they famous?
– Well…
– Yes~ I let you know.
– Oh, you know Kayak! Kayak is a streamer on Twichy who has been playing Abyss since its “failed game” days.
– Ugh, those gallery losers are now crawling into VTubing and causing a ruckus!
– Teacher, is it true that you can meet fans if you wait at the cinema?

“Kayak is live!”
– Abyss: The New World Cinematic Binge-Watch Before Viewing
Kayak’s stream went live at a different time than usual, at 1 PM during lunch.
In the late evening, streams typically started around 8-9 PM. Yesterday it was at 5 PM for a briefing, and today, for some reason, it kicked off at 1 PM.
Just two hours ago, Kayak’s comment on Eonix’s official VTubing had fans piling in, eagerly liking and replying.
[Hahahaha]
[Did you see that Teacher’s comment was ranked third in total likes?]
[Ugh, I have to make sure it’s first without any sense, huh?]
[Those who didn’t like it, hurry up and go like it!!]
[Let’s go for the cinematic binge!~]
[I haven’t watched the cinematic series because there’s so much; how long would it take to watch all of them?]
[Is it a problem if I don’t watch the cinematic? Do I miss something?]
[Did you have lunch? I had galbijjim!]
Abyss’s first official movie, Abyss: The New World, will be in theaters starting next week when Snowflake Queen Camilla is released. It was also revealed during the briefing that the movie connects with all previous series of Abyss.
It was evident.
Those who hadn’t kept up with the cinematic series—the ones who had only focused on the game—were united in the sentiment that they should watch the cinematic.
In truth, if they had originally planned not to watch the movie, there wouldn’t have been a need to revisit the previous cinematics, but with Eonix announcing that they would distribute coupon codes containing skins for watching the movie, it was rare to find anyone who wouldn’t participate.
[Going to the movies alone feels a bit off]
[For all the kayakers with no one to go with, that’s a major downvote, lol]
[I’m going to watch with my crush who loves the Abyss!! Hehe]
[You can leave, lol]
[I’m going with my buddies, damn it]
[Wow, who is everyone going with? Hehe… I’m going alone]
[So, all kayakers were actually popular? Didn’t everyone here just say they were single losers?]
[Yep~ I’m watching until the Snowflake Queen Camilla shows up; I don’t need a girlfriend or friends~]
The broadcast hadn’t started, and the streamer, the room’s owner, hadn’t shown up.
Nevertheless, nearly 3,000 people had gathered and were busily chatting away.
“Hello, today’s broadcast is a replay of the cinematic series from the very first episode to the latest. The Abyss can happen after the cinematic or not… but it probably won’t, so if you came for the game, please exit.”
That’s when Kayak showed up.
“This broadcast is a cinematic screening—” she said, diving straight into the main topic with her greeting.
At that moment, Kayak manipulated the screen, and the very first cinematic began to play.
[Wait, lol, what’s the rush?]
[This person’s tone hasn’t changed from yesterday]
[Look at their excited tone, haha, so cute]
[I’ve never seen their energy this high; it’s hard to adjust]
[I still haven’t gotten my burger delivery, and they’re starting right away, sob]
Kayak didn’t say much afterwards. Whether to maintain her own focus or to immerse the viewers, only the sound of her adjusting her seat was audible through the mic.
-Long ago, chaos struck the continent of Abyss, and various heroes began to manifest across the land…
[The first one is still hard to adjust to even now, damn it]
[Look at the graphics, lol, it’s at a level of being a total dumpster fire]
[This is… the Abyss?]
[The graphics are bad, but the story is a mess too]
[Hmm… even just watching it is boring]
The very first cinematic perfectly captured the early problems of the Abyss, leading to understandably poor reactions from the viewers.
However, after about four minutes, as the first video concluded and moved on to the next, people began to focus more intently on the videos themselves.
-Who are you? There’s no way I wouldn’t know a knight of your caliber…
-…Lennok. I’m the Gravekeeper.
[Wow]
[Holy, that’s badass]
[This knight is so cool, lol, I’ll go check out Lennok later]
[Our Lennok can really break it, huh?]
[Is Camilla not showing up?]
“Camilla will be out soon.”
At a viewer’s question, Kayak, who had been silent until now, spoke up for the first time. In response to her words, Camilla immediately revealed herself.
– If everyone stopped fighting and danced, the continent would become peaceful…
– I can’t let that happen, I need to bring peace to the continent with my dance!
[Wait, was Camilla’s backstory like this?]
[She really is crazy, lol]
[Only flowers in her head…]
[Well, usually girls with big breasts are a bit thoughtless]
[Oh-ho!]
[What kind of mindset does she have…?!]
Then, out of nowhere, during the screening, a donation flew in, and a question was thrown at Kayak.
[Queen Snowflower Camilla has donated 1000 won!]
– Did you know, teacher? Camilla has been dancing since she was little on a small island at the end of the continent, believing she can solve all problems with dance. This setup is inspired by the childhood of the legendary dancer, Ruven van Ayk, who is now dead.
[Hahaha!]
[Ah… yes….]
[I see now]
[Oh, Cam teacher!]
[If you’re gonna send a mountain of rice, at least start from ten thousand won, dammit]
[The price!!!!]
[Wow, this is really useful information I wanted to know!]
The immersion was immediately broken by the donation. A bunch of people were digging into details no one cared about, completely oblivious.
People’s reactions were cold, but Kayak’s response was slightly different from the viewers.
Tap—
[?? What’s going on?]
[Why did it stop?]
[Bathroom time?]
[Oh, it’s because of that donation!]
[Let’s just ban that guy, yeah? Or raise the donation price!]
Kayak briefly hit the spacebar to pause the video and spoke up.
“Ah, you know Ruven van Ayk…! Camilla’s actual modeling was drawn from his movements! I can’t believe there’s someone else who knows this besides me!”
With an excited tone, Kayak continued his monologue like a machine gun.
“When Camilla uses her Q skill, her left elbow sticks out a bit, which is also a characteristic of the actual model’s physique….”
“It’s amazing how Eonix designed Camilla with such details in mind, that’s why I can’t help but like her—”
“There are many other hidden elements too. Shall we go over them one by one before watching the video?”
[That damn guy who sent a mountain of rice]
[Please, teacher… just stop it]
[Haha, but… I’m not really interested]
[Just play the next cinematic!]
[You’ve opened Pandora’s box!]
Kayak’s explanation continued for another 20 minutes.
