The game, developed by River End Games, garnered attention with its gameplay trailer shown last December. The visuals and gameplay received praise, and now the demo is available on Steam. Set in the fictional city of Eriksholm within the Rosmark Empire, the game appears to draw inspiration from the industrial revolution era, with some elements reminiscent of the 1930s.
Players will assume the role of **Hanna**, searching for her missing brother, **Herman**. Her brother’s disappearance is tied to a conspiracy that implicates the city’s gendarmerie, making stealth and environmental awareness vital. Notably, **Hanna** lacks special abilities, requiring creativity to overcome challenges in this stealth-focused gameplay.
