Genre puts it alongside Resident Evil Village, and so does strong narrative focus, open world exploration and stealth mechanics. Both also lean on single-player focus and crafting mechanics. The distance is in setting and world — its own ground is procedural generation and a sci-fi setting.

The genre is the same as Resident Evil Village’s, and with it strong narrative focus, open world exploration and melee combat. Both also lean on exploration and discovery, and single-player focus. The distance is in combat and progression — its own ground is a third-person camera.
