The demo opens with the game’s first chapter, where Eline awakens on an idyllic beach along the Estfalian Coast and encounters Ysoris, a mysterious wanderer equipped with strange prosthetics. Despite her suspicions, Eline agrees to escort him to the nearest village, where circumstances lead them to join forces in order to rescue hunters who have been abducted by monsters born from the Corrosion. Players will be able to experience the foundations of the combat system by unlocking Eline’s first combos and Ysoris’ abilities, while also discovering the enemy weakness system and learning how to craft potions at campsites.
At the end of the quest, players will face the game’s first boss and uncover Eline’s hidden power: her transformation into the Black Beast, granting her incredible strength for a short period of time. Once transformed, Eline can deal massive damage and execute her enemies with a spectacular finishing blow… even though she remembers none of it afterward.
The demo includes part of the game’s first chapter and offers nearly two hours of content. Players will be able to experience the beginning of the main quest, explore the game’s first area — the Estfalian Coast — and take on a boss encounter.
