About the plot.

The plot of the game develops from the ship of the Octopus, where the main character was kept in the form of a prisoner. And they conducted experiments on him that could turn him into a monster due to the implantation of a parasite in the head. The ship Octopus attacked the cities and captured civilians to implant parasites.

The main character managed to escape and escape from captivity. And with a parasite in his head, for some reason, the hero only gained abilities, thanks to which he can read the thoughts of other such victims. Due to incidents, the hero goes in search of medicine, and collects a team along the way. In total, a team can contain 4 characters.

About the character of Asteron.

At the moment, little is known about the story of the vampire Asteron. In his cases, the implanted parasite, gave immunity to sunlight. But he did not spare the need for fresh blood. Asteron from time to time has to look for victims in whom he can drink blood. The game offers to choose from whom to drink, from allies or from animals in the forest. If the player decides to choose an ally, then these actions can be hidden from other characters.

About classes.

The game currently has five classes: assassin, mage, warrior, warlock, cleric. Even if the player chooses the appropriate class, then during the game he can be made hybrid and combine several similar classes in one.

Unlike most RPGs that are presented on the market in Baldur’s Gate 3, characters can perform seemingly simple actions. But in some games, these actions are missing. For example, a character can jump and climb on a hill. And use a throw that can throw the enemy from a hill. Interact with objects to facilitate passage in difficult places.
