You play as Mia, a paranormal detective who enters the Perimeter—a place that does not exist—to search for her missing father. Her dog Lupi and fellow agents Samuel and Agatha accompany or assist her investigation.
Explore interconnected locations, examine documents and other evidence, and solve puzzles by noticing details and linking clues. The search is non-linear, so you can investigate areas in different orders and revisit places as new information opens paths.
Track discoveries on Mia’s mental map, use equipment to uncover clues, and contact partner agents for help. Paranormal creatures create danger that you can confront or avoid; staying near Lupi after dangerous encounters helps Mia recover her sanity.
Reviewers often praise the satisfying process of connecting clues and solving puzzles, along with the unfolding mystery and distinctive atmosphere. Many also highlight the visual style, soundtrack, and voice acting. Criticism most often targets clunky combat and puzzles or progression that can be hard to read, with some players also reporting technical problems and tiring backtracking.
In a place that doesn’t exist, young detective Mia and her little dog Lupi investigate the disappearance of her father, one of the most skilled agents in the world and the leader of Ordo Realitas, an organization of paranormal detectives.
