    Story and Setting

    The game is a dark fantasy prequel to E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, set two millennia prior. Players control a warrior monk of the Secreta order, on a mission to hunt down their former Mentor, 'The Hermit,' who has betrayed the order and entered the forbidden Daimon realm to perform a soul-devouring ritual.

    Top 3 Gameplay Mechanics
    1. 1. Daimon-Infused Weapons: The signature feature. Each weapon is a living being with its own unique abilities that can 'ascend' and grow more powerful mid-run by consuming the blood of enemies. 2. The Corruption System: A roguelite risk/reward mechanic. The player can be resurrected by their weapon upon death, but each death increases a 'Corruption' meter. If the meter fills, the run fails, and a significant portion of loot is lost. 3. Fast-Paced First-Person Melee: A brutal and visceral combat system focused on melee, combining the aggressive 'push-forward' philosophy of DOOM with the tactical blocks, parries, and dodges of a slasher.
