A city to set alight again
Ytash is an interconnected city gone dark, and your sword is both weapon and torch: you fight enemies with it and use its flame to bring fire back to the streets you cross. New abilities open up hidden passages and previously locked routes, so an area you once passed becomes somewhere new on the way back. The city itself is drawn by hand, built on Persian architecture, and the mood is one of mystery: strange arcana and poems turn up as you explore, and gathering them may lead you down unexpected paths. Movement is fast and fluid and combat is responsive, so the exploring never stops feeling sluggish. With multiple endings, what you find and follow shapes how the story of Ytash closes.
