What about the gameplay?
"The core experience is about exploration, revealing the story and hiding from dangers. Similar to Alien: Isolation and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
As one of the restless dead, you will have supernatural powers at your disposal. As you progress, your powers will grow, granting you access to new areas:
Wraithgrasp: Allows you to manipulate objects from a distance and change the environment around you. Sharpened Senses: Helps you pick up distant whispers or track the movement of other spirits. Insubstantiality: Gives you the power to walk through solid walls.
Even as a Wraith stuck in the Afterlife, Ed’s camera plays an important role in the game. As a way to gradually reveal more about what actually happened inside the mansion, you can unlock memories of past occurrences by photographing certain objects. You can also use it as a tool to find secrets hidden inside the mansion."
Did you use original tabletop source material?
Yes! We used the original tabletop game for souring material but our focus was mainly in The Shadowlands part of the underworld :-)
What is a Wraith?
For a Wraith, death isn’t the end. It’s just the beginning. Upon death most souls pass on to whatever heaven or hell that awaits them, but a rare few refuse to go quietly. These souls are extraordinary, burning with unfulfilled desires and drives, emotions and needs that are stronger than death itself. Anger, love, fear, hatred - these are some of the things that, until fulfilled, can tie a wraith to the shadows of the mortal world. Driven by passions and anchored by fetters, wraiths are caught between this life and the next. Dwelling in the Underworld, between the memories of the lands of the living and the utter horror of the Tempest, wraiths walk a fine line between worlds. They can affect the mortal world, but only rarely manifest in it; they can travel through the Tempest, but never call it home. Illuminated by passion and shadowed by fear, a wraith‘s existence can be bliss or terror.
What is a Spectre?
Spirits of mortals who died in especially violent circumstances, or Wraiths who have lost their tenuous link to the world of the living. Spectre's are the main enemies you will face in the game.
