❤ Gameplay Overview

The player takes on the role of an adventurer exploring an open world inspired by Middle Eastern folklore and Islamic spiritual traditions. The game blends real-time combat with the grid-based movement and exploration of classic RPGs.

❤ Exploration and Navigation

Players navigate the interconnected islands and dungeons using a grid-based movement system that many reviewers find captures the feel of 1980s and 90s first-person RPGs. The game automatically updates the player's map as they explore, but some reviewers note the world map could be more detailed to better orient the player.

❤ Combat and Survival

Combat involves using the keyboard to attack, block, and manage the player's inventory of items. Reviewers describe the combat as simple but satisfying, with players needing to manage factors like hunger, fatigue, and various ailments in addition to fighting enemies. This survival aspect adds depth to the gameplay loop.

❤ Questing and Progression

The game features a main questline as well as numerous side quests. Reviewers note the quests often encourage more peaceful, exploratory approaches rather than just combat. Progression comes through gaining levels, finding new gear, and expanding the player's knowledge of the game's lore and systems by reading in-game books and talking to NPCs.

❤ Classic Sensibilities

A major strength highlighted by reviewers is how the game captures the spirit of old-school, first-person dungeon crawlers. The grid-based movement, limited interface, and focus on player-driven exploration and discovery evoke the feel of 1980s and 90s RPGs, which is a significant draw for many players.
