Signature systems

Learn the rhythm of the land.

Each system asks for a different kind of attention, from quick reactions to remembered recipes.

Fight as one

Switch the party

Move between Bulan, Iraynon, and Ulang in real time to match every threat.Chain Bulan's sword pressure, Iraynon's ranged magic, and Ulang's defensive control inside locked arena encounters.

Find the rhythm

Cleanse what lingers

Complete cleansing rites by timing inputs as ritual notes close around a circular pattern.Each stage adds faster timing, simultaneous notes, and held inputs on the path to the final exorcism.

Know the land

Craft herbal remedies

Gather plants found locally in Antique and prepare potions through tactile crafting gestures.Memorize recipes, pound ingredients, mix in the palayok, and add water. A wrong recipe creates a harmful Bad Potion.

Watch the sky

The final act

Victory must be followed by healing.

It turns cleansing from a cutscene into participation—the player must complete the work that restores each place.
