≠ Its own twist: dark, oppressive atmosphere and horror setting, while skipping setting medieval

A faithful rebuild rather than a reinvention: the original's systems are untouched underneath, including the harsh ones — no shared stash across seasons at launch, respecs are limited, and skill points are permanent. That rigidity is the appeal for some and the barrier for others. Expect to consult a build guide before spending anything.
