Verified

Quick answer

You play as Harbinger, who seeks to reclaim the Ova of the Undermether from its guardians. The release has eight main playable Shells; Harros appears in the prologue and should be counted separately.

01

Harbinger and the central conflict

The player character is the anchor for the game's possession system and world journey.

  • Harbinger seeks to reclaim the Ova of the Undermether.
  • The opposing force is connected to the guardians of the Ova.
  • Story spoilers should stay behind a disclosure block on the finished page.
02

Known Shells and Shellkeepers

Shell names mix character identity with combat role.

  • Tiel, the Acolyte favors evasive and stealth-oriented play.
  • Eredrim, the Venerable is one of the publicly shown Shells.
  • Proxima, the Broodseeker is also officially shown; Zhirelle, the Shellkeeper is tied to ability upgrades.
03

Beta characters and bosses

Beta progression reveals only part of the final cast.

  • Magdalena, the Lady of the Woods is a beta progression target.
  • Do not turn a beta encounter into a complete formal boss list.
  • Keep returning-character claims distinct from newly revealed characters.

Evidence is time-stamped to Aug 19, 2026. Beta feedback is labeled as beta evidence and is not a permanent formal-release rule.
