The Narrative — A Pact Forged in the Mist
Its players are Polly, an unfortunate girl on the run from a nightmarish orphanage, only to be ensnared in a mist-shrouded netherworld.
The lethal fog is an early warning system for danger, glowing red on Polly’s wrist whenever doom approaches. As she walks through this other-worldly land, she will meet bizarre denizens; some with good intentions, others not so much and learn about her new caretakers and their motivations.
“However events proceed, do not forget the binding you made that condemned you to descend into this pit.
The mood of play blends psychological narrative with supernatural perplexity reflecting the spirit of vintage horror fan-favourites while increasing the tempo for a more agitated playing style!

While there are some criticism also,
Looks like AI slop
11/10 if you can clap fools with your skateboard. 0/10 otherwise
Others were surprised when it showed up on PS4, others still compared it to half-forgotten gem Hunter: The Reckoning. The prevailing feeling is conclusive — players are anxious to return into the fog.
