Core Innovations
Psychological Volumetrics
Lighting that dynamically shifts with the emotional state of the character. Shadows stretch, colors bleed, and contrast heightens as tension peaks.
ECS-Driven Permanent State
The environment has a persistent memory. Moving a key, leaving a drawer open, or staying in a corner too long causes persistent changes in NPC behavior.
Atmospheric Dialogue
A non-linear conversation system where silence is a valid response, often saying more than spoken words.
