❤ Bending Space and Time

The Beggar empowers players to manipulate the environment in innovative ways, allowing them to control the time of day and weather conditions. Summoning thunderstorms or shifting between day and night is not merely a visual flourish, but an integral mechanic that players must strategically employ to navigate obstacles and overcome challenges.

❤ Physics-Driven Combat Encounters

Rather than relying on conventional combat mechanics, The Beggar tasks players with using their powers to pick up and hurl objects at enemies. This physics-based system requires careful timing and precision, as players must account for factors like object weight and trajectory to land successful hits. The combat encounters, particularly the boss fights, are designed to push players' mastery of these mechanics to the limit.

❤ Narrative Woven into Gameplay

The player's ability to manipulate the environment is not just a gameplay mechanic, but a key narrative element that ties into the game's overarching themes and story. As players uncover the mysteries of the broken, post-apocalyptic world, they'll discover that their powers are a reflection of the game's larger ideas about the nature of reality, survival, and the consequences of human action.

❤ Exploration and Environmental Storytelling

While The Beggar features combat and puzzle-solving, the gameplay primarily focuses on exploration and environmental storytelling. Players are encouraged to carefully examine their surroundings, interact with objects, and uncover the secrets of the devastated world through careful observation and deduction. This emphasis on exploration and environmental storytelling, combined with the game's visually stunning Unreal Engine 5 presentation, encourages players to slow down, immerse themselves in the world, and engage with the experience on a deeper, more contemplative level.
