Entra nelle sale maledette dell'Università di Selenwald, in Europa alla fine del 1700, per svelare conoscenze proibite custodite da folli e orrori indicibili. Scienziati isolati dal mondo dei vivi hanno sbloccato i poteri arcani del selenio, confondendo i confini tra scienza e magia mentre sondavano i misteri più profondi della vita. Una storia matura si dipana attraverso figure tragiche spinte alla follia da rivelazioni che mettono in discussione religione e ragione.
Questo action RPG offre combattimenti impegnativi con colpi melee precisi, armi da fuoco e incantesimi, dove ogni sparo rischia di fallire e l'adattamento ai nemici è cruciale: opta per assassinii furtivi per evitare gli scontri. Gestisci risorse scarse e inventario limitato nelle discese verso dungeon generati proceduralmente, personalizzando classi tramite tratti casuali e accessori. La permadeath pone fine definitivamente alle run, ma conseguenze persistenti plasmano i futuri avventurieri, ideale per chi ama survival ad alto rischio e rigiocabilità.
