Meaningful choices

The Inverted Spire departs from a more traditional branching narrative structure to offer a Rubik's cube of moving parts. 

It is is built from the ground up to maximize replayability. A single playthrough is likely to yield roughly 10% of available content, and there are multiple solutions to almost every in-game encounter. 

Every choice you make impacts character relationships and how the protagonist is perceived by others.  Some decisions have immediate consequences, while others gradually reveal their impact over time. How the characters develop and what ending you achieve in future releases will be determined by the sum of your actions.

Multi-dimensional character relationships in a genderless world

Your companions have perpetually-shifting trust bars that reflect their confidence in the protagonist at any given time. Their attitude is also impacted by personally significant events, and they respond to changes in the protagonist's behavior over the course of your journey.

You can cultivate romantic relationships, friendships and rivalries with any of your six companions over the course of future releases. (More on the relationship system here and genderless worldbuilding here)

Mind-reading

Our protagonist's sinister discipline places them in a unique position to influence the dynamics of their group. How you use this power is up to your discretion.  (More on that here)

A World Rich with Lore

You have access to an in-game codex that is persistently updated with character secrets (as you discover them), and worldbuilding lore presented through immersive in-world transcriptions of recordings, letters and documents. These entries are often significant to solving dialogue puzzles and seeing through to the underlying truth behind character interactions!

How much you uncover about the mystery behind your companions, the state of New Order, and the Inverted Spire itself depends on the choice that you make.
