❤ Unique Turn-Based Combat

The combat system blends the protagonist's human attacks with the special powers of ethereal creatures called "salutors." Players can queue up a sequence of actions, combining skills like dealing damage, inflicting status effects, and utilizing their salutors' unique abilities. This creates an engaging tactical element, as players must carefully plan their moves to defeat foes.

❤ Salutors and Character Customization

A key aspect of the combat is the ability to tame and upgrade different salutors. Each salutor has its own specialized abilities, such as powerful debuffs, focus reduction, or hybrid support/damage capabilities. This allows players to experiment with various salutor combinations to find the optimal playstyle for their preferred approach, whether that's a heavy damage dealer, a strategic debuffer, or a balanced party.

❤ Investigation and Exploration

While combat is present, the experience places a stronger emphasis on investigation and exploration. Players navigate the streets of early 20th century Warsaw, searching for clues and gathering information to advance the story. This detective-like element encourages players to carefully examine their surroundings and engage with the diverse cast of characters.

❤ Morally Ambiguous Choices

A highlight of the gameplay is the presence of morally ambiguous choices that impact the story and its outcomes. Players are frequently faced with decisions that don't have clear-cut right or wrong answers, challenging them to weigh the consequences of their actions. These choices add depth and replayability, as players may choose to pursue different paths based on their own moral compasses.
