The Story
You are Edward Wolfe, a professor at a prestigious institution. All your lofty philosophy means nothing when you have to see your 12-year-old daughter lying in a coma after an accident.
You will do whatever it takes to save her, even if it means summoning a supernatural being, known as a Goetic.
You must forge pacts and alliances with entities from this world and beyond, absorb and explore the memories of others, and uncover the truth.
Remember: everything comes with a price, and yours might just be too high to pay.
Gameplay

Explore deeply atmospheric locations inspired by real-world events, mysteries, and historical figures. Visit a prestigious library in Edinburgh, investigate a bizarre apparition in a remote Irish village, and uncover tales of reincarnation and ancient god-cults within Egyptian temples.
The supporting cast isn't just there to hand you puzzle pieces or blindly serve your quest. They have their own richly woven stories and inner conflicts. Everyone has lost something... just like you.
