About

Third-person action-RPG where you inhabit the corpses of fallen warriors to survive a decayed world. You start as a hollow vessel and can possess different "shells"—each body offering distinct combat abilities, weapon proficiencies, and upgrade paths. Combat emphasizes timing: you commit to sword strikes only when openings appear, parry to trigger counterattacks, and manage stamina carefully. The campaign lets you choose your route through interconnected areas like marshlands, an obsidian cathedral, and a frozen mountain crypt. Your goal: locate sanctums of cultists and harvest sacred glands for a figure called the Dark Father. Upgrades include weapon enhancements (acid coatings), shell-specific skill trees, and arcane attacks. Enemies are described as devoted to obscure gods. If you want deliberate, stamina-based melee combat with body-swapping as the central mechanic, this delivers that framework.
