Here’s an overview of the game:

Haroona has relied on the teachings of her beloved mentor, Reika, to help her master her unique Fold-related abilities since she was a child. For years, Reika trained Haroona on the intricacies of this other dimension, tutored her on the ways of the world, and often recounted tales of enigmatic immortal figures said to preside over all of humanity’s knowledge — the Unknown 9.   

Unfortunately, all this training came to a sudden halt the moment Vincent Lichter decided to take Reika’s life. Believing that Unknown 9 have kept humanity from realising its true potential for far too long, the leader of the Ascendants and former pupil of Reika’s has committed himself to freeing the world of their influence once and for all. His goal? To ensure humankind takes control of its own destiny, no matter the consequences. His actions cost Haroona too much, and so she sets off on a journey to stop him.

Can Haroona prevent humanity’s best-kept secrets from falling into the wrong hands? 

The game is launching in Fall 2024 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
