In the fractured metropolis of Nexhaven, your exile begins with a funeral—your estranged mother’s. Her death thrusts you into a crumbling mansion and a city rewritten by shadowy syndicates. Armed only with a vintage camera that captures more than light, you discover each photo warps timelines: snap a gangster’s threat, and tomorrow he’s your ally… or corpse. But the camera’s power comes at a cost—your siblings, now ruling the city’s underworld, see you as a loose end. To survive, you manipulate 11 enigmatic women, each a pawn (or queen) in Nexhaven’s toxic game. A reclusive hacker sculpts her body like code, a ballerina dances with razor wire, a nun traffics in forbidden truths—their secrets are your currency. But when your lens reveals your mother’s death was staged, you must choose: rebuild broken trusts or burn the city to ashes.
Gameplay
1. Chronolens Strategy
Photograph NPCs/objects to alter timelines, but each snap drains “Exposure Points.” Overuse risks permanent paradoxes—erase a key character, and their faction collapses… along with related storylines.
2. Faction Flux
Develop traits like Temporal Empathy (see dialogue ghosts of past/future) or Veil Piercer (uncover hidden motives). These reshape interactions: high empathy lets you blackmail using a character’s unborn regrets.
3. Dusk-Dawn Architecture
Access locations only during specific light conditions. A midnight visit to the docks reveals smuggling routes, while dawn at the cathedral exposes bloodstains hidden by sunlight.
Features
1. Bio-Chromatic Customization
Every female character’s design reflects their arc: a corporate heiress’s hair shifts from blonde to black as she embraces cruelty, while a scientist’s scar patterns map her unethical experiments.
2. Echo Ecosystems
Choices spawn “Echo NPCs”—phantom versions of characters from abandoned timelines who haunt subsequent playthroughs, offering warnings or sabotaging your plans.
3. Rewind Collateral
Altering major events causes Fate Fractures: glitched zones where time loops trap you until you resolve side stories unrelated to your main goals.
Pro Tips
1. Shoot the Messenger
Photograph secondary characters (bartenders, cab drivers) first—their smaller roles let you test timeline changes without major plot derailment.
2. Glitch Farming
Trigger intentional paradoxes in early game to spawn Echo NPCs. They drop cryptic clues about late-game betrayals when bribed with discarded photos.
3. Light as a Weapon
Max the Golden Hour trait to freeze time during sunset/sunrise. Use this to photograph otherwise impossible moments—like a rival’s secret meeting—without spending Exposure.
