You play as the Nephilem, a being made to survive a world blanketed by an eldritch infection. Explore its ruined landscapes and confront demons as you seek a way to drive back the fog and let life return.
The game combines first-person shooting with Metroidvania-style exploration across an interconnected world. Search for weapons, upgrades, secrets, and fragments of environmental story, then revisit areas as new abilities open routes that were previously out of reach.
Movement abilities include a double jump, an air dash, and a smaller form for passing through tight spaces. Combat features firearms with unlimited ammunition, enemy encounters, and boss fights.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its surreal art direction, oppressive atmosphere, and interconnected world, which make exploring and uncovering secrets appealing. Some also praise the soundtrack and the cryptic story. Opinions on combat are more mixed: several players find it simple or shallow, while others appreciate that it leaves room to focus on exploration. Reviews also frequently note the short playtime, and some mention unclear navigation or underwhelming boss fights.
