Play as William, a resurrected soldier of the Grande Armée guided by Napoleon’s disembodied voice, as you traverse ravaged battlefields, sprawling mountains, and historical cities consumed by a grotesque plague — the same corruption that pulses through William’s veins and gave him life. - **First-Person Soulslike Combat:** Challenging, stamina-and-skill-based combat designed to feel threatening and immersive, drawing on One More Level’s expertise in first-person perspective. Every death is a stepping stone to mastery as you perfect your ability to parry blows, dash out of harm’s way, and deliver ravaging, visceral finishers. - **Dual-Wielding and Supernatural Powers:** Master fluid combat by weaving together Napoleonic-era weaponry, such as rapiers and flintlock pistols, while also utilizing William’s devastating supernatural abilities. - **Metroidvania-Style Exploration:** Use William’s newfound mobility to outrun and flank Napoleon’s plague-ridden Eternal Guard. Progress carefully, uncover environmental secrets, and survive the rotting remnants of an endless war. - **Superb Audiovisual Quality:** A disturbing aesthetic built on theatrical lighting and mature, grim themes, with an original score co-composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski, known for his work on Silent Hill 2 Remake, The Medium, and Layers of Fear 1 and 2, alongside in-house composer Oskar Bała.
