Gathering & Trading
Each region not only has its own look and atmosphere, but also a unique pool of resources — certain plants or ores can only be found in specific areas.
Collected items can be refined, traded with merchants, or used directly.
Crafting
During your exploration, you’ll occasionally discover new “recipes” or blueprints that allow you — with the right help and materials — to craft new items.
With a good network of traders and craftsmen, you might even develop larger, more ambitious projects.

Story
It’s up to you to uncover it.
Told partly in classic dark-fantasy fashion — abstractly, through dialogue and descriptions — and partly through manga-style cutscenes.
