Gameplay
Parkour is the core movement system: rooftops, facades and vertical routes connect the districts of Villedor. In combat, you can combine movement moves, melee weapons and improvised tools. The day-night cycle also changes the risk in the city and opens areas at night that are more heavily shaped by the Infected.
Choices and faction relations affect parts of the game world and the course of the story.
