Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the ancient land of Athia.

Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched. The Break transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses.

Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope. Frey's journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.

Quotes
Frey Holland: [Frey uses magic to push an enemy away] Did I just do that?
Cuff: Well, definitely with my assistance.
Frey Holland: [ignores Cuff] I did not just do that.
Cuff: We did.
Frey Holland: [ignores Cuff again] I just moved shit with my mind.
Cuff: Perhaps our connection has somehow awoken some abilities...
Frey Holland: I just moved shit... With my mind.
Cuff: I just keep hearing "I", "I", "I".
Frey Holland: I just moved shit! With my freaking mind! Ha ha!
[spins around with joy]
Frey Holland: Yeah, okay, that is something I do now. I do magic, talk to sentient cuffs, kill jacked-up beasts; you know what? I'll probably fly next.
Cuff: Now you're just being ridiculous.
Frey Holland: Oh, that's too far? Good to know there's a line.
Cuff: If you could just master these new abilities, with my help of course...
Frey Holland: Um, did you not just see me take out that gnarly beast?
[more monsters show up]
Frey Holland: Oh, bring it you mangled monsters!

Biggest scam ever. Do NOT waste your money

My brother in christ...70 dollars for this piece of sht is unbelievable... I'll try to be brief

Graphics:

Massive graphic downgrade from the demo, feels like a scam...

It demands a ridiculous ammount of things and storage to run, at best, like a PS3 game.

The cities design is just embarrasing. Without spoilers, they introduce a city that is the equivalent of modern Athens, and it looks like a bunch of sticks

Gameplay:

Repetitive mechanics

IT LAGS all the fkn time!!!!!! If there are like 10 enemies it will be a lag storm.

NPC are just dumb and void. They don't say anything, just one or two lines over and over again.

Massive map... that is empty, has nothing to do. No interest points. Just an annoying empty field.

Open world doesn't work. It doesn't let you explore, respawns you in the last checkpoint if you go "too far".

Main character and story:

The most insufferable main character... This is supposed to be a dark story... But whatever deepness they planned goes down the drain with the lame ironic comments of the protagonist, at all times. In the most serious moments, there's always the most unfunny joke to be made, that avoids the player to be immersed in the story. This, along with the annoying bracelet voice, makes it impossible to take the story seriously.
