Interwoven perspectives

The story shifts between Alex and the Nameless Child, whose separate realities are intertwined. As their stories unfold, each twist reveals more about their destinies.

Combat and exploration

Combat uses a turn-based system in which you wield everyday weapons against bizarre entities, with the power of Karta to aid you. When you or an enemy takes damage, bleeding begins; every action taken while bleeding brings you closer to defeat. You must outlast your opponent and stem the flow of blood.

You also navigate landscapes that blur reality and dreams. These areas contain intricate puzzles, deadly traps and odd adversaries that challenge your perception of what is real.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack contains over 200 tracks spanning genres from drum and bass to progressive rock. Much of the music is performed by live musicians.
