Hideous dangers lurk around every corner and your choices will determine who you are, where you go, what you do, who you meet, and ultimately how your story ends.
Encounter Disturbing Horrors!
The art style is very stark and full of contrast - meant to evoke the feelings of darkness and dread appropriate to such a world of horrors.
