Overview

Gameplay takes place in an open world, which players can freely explore. Players start the game in a small dungeon, which they must escape to progress in the game. Once free, the user will play as a Lightbringer tasked with saving the game's world. They must also find a way to save the world's most valuable resource, embers, which can be used for their power, worn as jewelry, or set free, requiring morality based decision making.[5]

The game features a branching story, weapons-based skill system, and crafting. Combat will occur in real-time but can be paused,[5] and the game takes about 20 hours for players to complete.
