About the game

The game is an action-adventure set beyond the Oldest House, following Dylan Faden as the Hiss spreads through a distorted Manhattan. Dylan fights with a transforming Aberrant weapon, earns combat powers from Resonants, and unlocks traversal abilities through Faults linked to Jesse. Each zone rewards exploration with shortcuts, vendors, side quests, collectibles, upgrades, and puzzles, while Pylons and Sensors reveal the map. This wiki organizes the information players need to move through that structure with less backtracking.
