8 itemsAbout the Game
To the ill-fated souls imprisoned within, ARX is a labyrinthine fortress of anguish and misery. But a single spark of hope within one brave spirit might just be enough to put an end to ARX's reign of malice.
At the start of every playthrough, choose from a random selection of spirits, each carrying their own unique abilities and boons.
But do not fret - ancient relics, as old as the bones beneath your feet, will help you on your journey and might just give you the edge you need to succeed.
And should you happen upon a kindred spirit, try and help — you might be surprised by the result.

Look out for beguiling traps, secret treasures and snarky ghosts!Relics and Weapons, and Spirits — oh my!
