Overview

About this game

The Chalice of Illusion is an immersive tinkering game. Puzzles, enemies, dialogue, visuals, sound and more are all alike governed by a single supernatural order of hexing form sigils. This world will be presented to you with no restrictions, context or introduction. You will be gently nudged out of your confusion by subtle, tasteful, unobtrusive design that pushes you into figuring out the rules of how everything works by yourself.
This is a game that emphasizes the memorable experiences found in poking around, guessing and testing out assumptions about the unfamiliar. Its priorities are in player autonomy and internally consistent mechanics that express novelty and surprise by overextending in unusual ways.

Features:

  • Freely explore Panissari Castle and its interconnected surrounding areas at your own pace.
  • Universal symbolic grid hexing that unifies disparate systems into a consistent ruleset.
  • Unhinged memorability always favored over balance – or even sanity in a general sense.
  • Intentionally exploitable unintuitive interactions that reward continuous experimentation.
