About the game mechanics
You will find yourself in the middle of the 14th century, impersonating a man who has been found guilty of heresy by the brutal Inquisition.
You’ll have to listen closely to the surrounding sounds in order to understand the situation you are in. There could be prisoners that want to be set free or sentinels waiting for you right around the corner. Water drops, mouse squeaks, rusty gates and many other immersive sounds are skillfully scattered through the levels. Pay attention to them and they will become your allies as you progress through the adventure.
