OFFICIAL
Combat and stealth
The official gameplay records describe parry, block, dodge, and direct melee attacks, supported by dagger and sword combat. Sophia can also use a grappling hook that can pull or stun enemies and enable environmental attacks.
stealth sequences remain part of the game. These are publisher-described systems, not a first-hand difficulty or balance judgment.
Exploration and light puzzles
The exploration loop includes Minoan sphere light-manipulation puzzles. Official development material also lists Skills, Masteries, and Resonance Points as progression systems.
Two playable time periods
The official description confirms Sophia and Theseus gameplay across two time periods. This page does not extend that premise into unverified chapter, boss, or puzzle details.

The publisher’s seven-minute video shows combat, traversal and Minoan light puzzles without substituting promotional footage for first-hand testing.
