About the Game

Human madness rises in the form of a tower…

Aphasie is an open-world immersive sim of action and stealth that puts you in the role of Mastema, the angel of cataclysms. Evolve within the dynamic environment of the City of Babel, use your powers, stealth, or a wide array of weapons and tools to carve your way to the Tower of Babel.
Freedom of action lies at the heart of Aphasie — there is always more than one way to achieve your objective.

Main Features:

  • A living and reactive open world: Citizens and guards roam the city and engage in a wide variety of interactions, whether with the player or with each other. The city is filled with tools, quests, and hidden interactions to uncover.

  • Total freedom of approach: Every obstacle in Aphasie can be solved or bypassed in many different ways. Use blades and rifles to fight guards, attempt a stealth approach by disabling alarms, or rely on your powers and the environment to discover new paths.

    • A spear can serve as both a weapon and a platform once embedded in a wall.

    • A tossed gold coin can turn a civilian into a distraction.

    • Hypnosis can transform them into an ally.

  • Varied powers: Your fall from paradise has scattered several of your abilities across the city, it’s up to you whether to recover them or not. Among these supernatural abilities are the power to possess enemies, to create diversions, and many other occult skills.

  • An original artistic direction: The world of Aphasie blends 2D paper-cut and calligram characters with a 3D city inspired by ancient Greece, set upon a colossal aqueduct. The city and its characters evolve within a minimalist universe that highlights key gameplay elements.

Available in English and French.

Destroy the tower, and reclaim your place in paradise.
