Use an arsenal of soul-bound weapons to tear enemies apart and bring down colossal foes.
Break your enemies and absorb their energy to throw back at them. Exploit your environment to to siphon Grim and fuel your own attacks.
Focus the toxic byproduct of the Grim into your weapons to use them in new ways: make your enemies explode, smother them in noxious gas or gain unnatural speed.

Master the Grim

Use this wretched energy to unleash powerful attacks, but be careful not to let it take apart your body and soul.
Build your own Alembic to refine the Grim how you see fit. Change the effect it applies to your enemies and your weapons and unlock powerful abilities that can even challenge death itself.
Your enemies were born of the Grim, you’ll have to manage your use of it carefully to not evolve them any further into unthinkable horrors.

Learn about the World Before

Talk with the historical figures trapped inside your weapons and decipher how humanity fell.
Find remnants of an ancient war that tore the ground open and unleashed the Grim on the land, forever tainting every living being.
Fight in the gigantic remains of Holy Knights, and travel through valleys and mountains to find the last of their order.
