Our take on Cypress Inheritance: The Beginning

Its central structure is built around cautious movement, resource decisions, and adapting to changing conditions.
What is Cypress Inheritance: The Beginning?
Cypress Inheritance: The Beginning is a single-player stealth strategy game set on an open-world island.
Lorna Ritten investigates her family history while searching forests, caves, outposts, and vaults for information and hidden secrets. An AI-controlled defense system and an enemy named Vonya respond to her movements. Players manage health, stamina, resources, and choices while working within a 72-hour mission.
