In a new seven-minute video titled "Game Overview," creative director Joseph Rogers delves into the game's core mechanics and narrative. The material details the mysteries awaiting players, the diverse character-building possibilities, and the crucial role of the enigmatic Cartograms, elements that influence each incursion into the depths of the Monolith.

The story unfolds through a complex plot, intertwining mythology, philosophy, and transcendent revelations, as an expedition ventures deeper to uncover the secrets hidden within its core.

To succeed, players must master a complex and challenging combat system, face formidable enemies, and make decisions that impact a gallery of memorable characters, each with their own quests and multiple outcomes.

With an ancient and fragmented world to explore, the game offers stunning environments filled with hidden details. Customization also plays a key role, allowing players to collect armor sets with powerful abilities, modify and enhance their equipment, and unlock new skills to adapt their playstyle.
