You play an awakened agent recruited by one of three secret societies and sent to confront supernatural threats hidden in the modern world. Myths, conspiracies, and horror shape a story that moves through places including London, New York, Egypt, and Transylvania.
Travel through story-driven regions, take on missions, and investigate mysteries by examining clues, decoding messages, and solving puzzles. Some investigations call for research beyond the immediate game world, while other quests focus on confronting the creatures behind each case.
