Aphasie

Aphasie is an open-world action and stealth game in which you play as Mastema, the angel of cataclysms. Use supernatural powers, stealth, weapons and tools to make your way through the City of Babel and reach the Tower of Babel. There is more than one way to achieve each objective.

The City of Babel

Citizens and guards roam the city and interact with you and one another. The environment is dynamic and reactive, with tools, quests and hidden interactions to discover. The city is inspired by ancient Greece and sits atop a colossal aqueduct. Its 3D setting combines 2D paper-cut and calligram characters in a minimalist visual style that highlights gameplay elements.

Choose your approach

You can fight guards with blades and rifles, disable alarms to move stealthily, or use your powers and the environment to find other ways forward. Obstacles can be solved or bypassed in different ways: a spear embedded in a wall can become a platform, while tossing a gold coin can distract a civilian, and hypnosis can turn one into an ally.

Recover your powers

Your fall from paradise scattered several of your abilities across the city. You decide whether to recover them. These occult powers include possessing enemies and creating diversions, along with other supernatural skills.
