Design:

The game is a mix of a "walking simulator" and Quick Time Events.
The player experiences the story from a first-person perspective from the eyes of different characters where the player walks around and unfolds the story by interacting with the environments as well as NPCs.




The battles and action sequences are played as "Quick time events" where the player has to push the right key to perform different actions.
