01 / THE GUIDE

Secret War Against the Supernatural

The central conflict pits humanity against a secret war where supernatural forces threaten the modern world. Players confront these evils using a wide range of weapons and superhuman abilities, allowing varied approaches to each encounter.

Combat encounters are designed to require both weapon skill and the strategic use of powers, encouraging players to adapt their load‑out to the specific threats they face.

  • Swap weapons between missions to discover which types handle different enemy behaviors best.
  • Combine a power with a weapon that complements its range or damage type for smoother fights.

Investigation Missions

Investigation Missions blend puzzle‑solving with combat, making player wits as important as combat skill. Each mission presents a unique scenario that has not appeared elsewhere in the game.

During these missions, players must gather clues, solve riddles, and then engage enemies, creating a rhythm of deduction followed by action.

  • Pause to examine the environment for hidden clues before initiating combat.
  • Use abilities that reveal information to speed up the investigative portion.
