How it feels

A tense, narrative-driven investigation where you unravel a conspiracy under siege, with choices that shape the fate of a gritty medieval city.

What players say

Players play as a watchman defending a city from the hero of the previous game, a perspective shift they find interesting. It removes the tactical battles from the first game, focusing on exploration and investigation instead. Some say the mystery wears off after one playthrough and the story feels cliche to a few.
