- Starring Dylan Faden, who endured FBC experiments at age ten and spent years in a coma.
- Setting is Manhattan, cut off from the outside world due to an interdimensional Hiss outbreak.
- Combat system replaces third-person shooting with hack-and-slash mechanics utilizing a transfiguring melee weapon called the Aberrant.
- Weapon automatically shifts forms based on light combos, heavy attacks, or finishers, alongside paranormal abilities and upgrade trees.
Manhattan Outbreak
Dylan Faden takes the lead role after enduring decades of trauma from Federal Bureau of Control experiments and a long coma. The narrative begins when the Hiss entity breaks containment inside the Oldest House. The supernatural threat crosses city limits and plunges Manhattan into an interdimensional quarantine zone.
Combat Mechanics
The title trades the metroidvania-inspired shooting mechanics of its predecessor for fast-paced action. Players rely on close-quarters combat powered by the Aberrant. This melee weapon alters its physical form dynamically during combat encounters based on light combos, heavy attacks, and final strikes. RPG progression systems and paranormal abilities support the new gameplay loop.
