Our take on Veil of Shadows

It gives little detail about how those activities fit together over the course of the journey.
What is Veil of Shadows?
Veil of Shadows is an action-adventure game with roguelite elements and a retro-inspired presentation.
Sirene wakes in a forest with few memories and must investigate her situation while fighting to survive. Players search each map for memory fragments as they explore. Combat includes monsters and enemy events with waves that vary between passes through event areas; overcoming an event rewards a treasure chest. Quests provide experience, which can be assigned to Damage, Agility, or Accuracy. Leveling also unlocks perks. The non-linear design allows different approaches to challenges, while optional side quests offer unique rewards. The journey centers on uncovering what is happening to Sirene and finding a way out.
