The ending of this story is up to you - will you solve the mystery and best the Vile? Whether it’s helping the townsfolk with unusual sidequests or discovering hidden secrets in the world around, there’s more than meets the eye in the haunting and mysterious Rainybrook.

TAKE ON ENEMIES LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE

Are you prepared to take on the monsters of the Vile? Every boss fight is unique and will require the use of everything you’ve learned so far.

Whether you’re taking on a Kraken on the ghost ship or being chased through the hospital by a giant hare, you’ll need to use all your abilities and upgrades to your advantage to best every new enemy.

DYNAMIC INTERACTIVE WORLD

Experience an interactive world with Day/Night cycles and dynamic weather that will impact the game in different ways. Encounter different monsters at night! Seek out items and side quests that only appear under specific conditions!
