Tauche ein in die verfluchten Hallen der Selenwald University im Europa des späten 18. Jahrhunderts, um verbotenes Wissen aufzudecken, das von Wahnsinnigen und unvorstellbaren Schrecken bewacht wird. Abgeschottete Wissenschaftler entfesselten die arkanen Kräfte des Selens, verwischten die Grenzen zwischen Wissenschaft und Magie und drangen in die tiefsten Geheimnisse des Lebens vor. Eine reife Geschichte entfaltet sich um tragische Figuren, die von Offenbarungen in den Wahnsinn getrieben werden, welche Religion und Vernunft auf die Probe stellen.
Dieses Action-RPG bietet anspruchsvolle Kämpfe mit präzisen Nahangriffen, Schusswaffen und Zaubersprüchen, bei denen jeder Schuss danebengehen kann und Anpassung an die Gegner überlebenswichtig ist - setze auf Stealth-Attentate, um Gefechte zu umgehen. Wirtschafte mit knappen Ressourcen und begrenztem Inventar auf Abstiegen in prozedural generierte Dungeons, passe Klassen mit zufälligen Traits und Accessoires an. Permadeath beendet Runs endgültig, doch nachwirkende Konsequenzen formen zukünftige Abenteurer - ideal für Spieler, die hoch riskantes Survival und starke Replayability schätzen.
