Description
About This Game
NAVIGATE A VAST WORLD CONSUMED BY ALCHEMY
Completely amnesiac, Raed roams the vast estate that belonged to his family in search of his memories. During her adventure, she learns more about her father, an alchemist leading dubious experiments, and about her mother, a seasoned knight whose path Raed has followed by becoming herself a great warrior.
In the course of her quest, she will find the fragments of her old heart, allowing her to gradually recover her memory and discover the truth about her death. Perhaps then she will finally be able to return to her eternal sleep.
FIGHT USING A UNIQUE COMBAT MECHANIC
Brought back to life thanks to a new heart implanted in her body, she can turn it into a weapon to face enemies who stand in her way.
The heart controls gameplay via its BPMs. Depending on these, its posture and weapon will change. So when his BPMs are slow, Raed uses an axe with heavy gameplay. When they are medians, she uses a sword and shield with balanced gameplay. Finally, when they are high, Raed uses a rapier with fast and light gameplay.
To lower the BPM gauge and use the axe, perform perfect parries when enemies attack you.
To increase BPM and use the rapier, perform perfect dodges.
Some enemies can also directly influence BPM through their attacks.
