Players create a custom character returning from exile to join a secret conspiracy. The group plans a coup against the Traum family, a clan of aristocrats ruling the early 20th-century occult city of Broken after returning changed from a forbidden passage called the Red Door. The game combines immersive sim elements, stealth, combat, persuasion, and deception. Character creation shapes backstory, appearance, and social standing, while narrative choices influence events and how other characters react.

At launch, 90% of user reviews on Steam are positive, with players highlighting the theatrical visual style, soundtrack, and branching paths. Some players report technical issues, including visual glitches, awkward gamepad controls, and progression bugs. The development team includes members who previously worked on The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante.
