Intriguing character conversations, interactions and insights

Choice and chance based combat situations against various enemies and monsters using a variety of weapons. You may find weapons as hidden clues or obtain them through other means

🔹🔹🔹"As the same chain fastens the prisoner and the soldier who guards them, so fear and hope, dissimilar as they are, keep step together. Each belongs to a mind that is in suspense, a mind looking forward to the future. Our memory recalls the tortures of fear, while foresight anticipates them.The present alone makes no person wretched."
  • Seneca, Letter V
🔹🔹🔹Let The Adventure BeginYou awake on a path in a strange forest with no idea how you got there or why you are there. There is nothing in your possession outside of the clothes on your back. Shaking off a thick drowsiness and as your mind clears you become determined to find an explanation.Explore a strange, new world where things may not be quite what they seem. What truths will you uncover, which paths will you follow and where will they take you? What will your story be?

Pretty cool game with some interesting sci-fi and mystery narrative elements. I enjoyed it. [h3]Pros: [/h3] - the 3D puzzles are diverse, unique, and fairly challenging. They remind me of a Myst like experience and atmosphere at times. e.g. there's no overly detailed instruction / hand-holding prompts or text overlays for the player, you just need to work it out - the clue finding and inventory mechanics of the game are fun if you like hidden objects type games. You can rotate the clues, and sometimes this uncovers important info or direction for other areas of the game (e.g. puzzles) - I like the general vibe of the game and how the elements (story, art style, music, etc) work together to get you in the mood for some fact finding and mystery solving - purely casual gameplay interface. Entire game can be played with mouse [h3]Cons: [/h3] - May be a little pricey for this kind of game, suggest wait for discount - Though it has some replayability with multiple paths and I found the experience fun, it's still a reasonably short game overall in terms of the amount of content - Some 2D elements in the game look a little janky at times, noting it's obviously indie so perhaps expected …
