A Unique Historical Inspiration: The Beast of Gévaudan
The game is inspired by a real-life event that occurred between 1764 and 1767: the Beast of Gévaudan, a mysterious creature that terrorized southern France. You play as Mateo Lombardo, the last apprentice of the Order of the Rose-Cross, a survivor of a brutal massacre, now tasked with hunting the monster down.
Set in 18th-century France, the narrative is steeped in folklore, belief systems, and tension, where the line between myth and reality is blurred. This unique historical setting brings a refreshing originality to the adventure.

Free Exploration and an Interconnected Map
You’ll traverse a world made of interconnected regions: haunted forests, ruined castles, abandoned villages… Each area is filled with secrets, alternate paths, and puzzles to solve.
Hero Progression and Customization
By gaining experience and acquiring new equipment, Mateo unlocks previously inaccessible areas. Acquired abilities, both offensive and defensive, offer deep customization and multiple play styles.
Strategic Combat
Combat is intense and demands precision: dodging, countering, well-timed combos… Every enemy requires a different approach. The many bosses are particularly challenging and require observation, strategy, and perfect timing.
Interaction and Storytelling
The world is populated with NPCs who provide clues, key items, and lore. The story unfolds through dialogue, illustrated cutscenes, and collectible documents that deepen the universe.
