On paper it is what Apotheon is — deep RPG systems, melee combat and fantasy world — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. To that it adds exploration and discovery, and single-player focus. They part company on tone and setting: this one brings dark, oppressive atmosphere and horror setting.
