Unknown 9 Awakening gameplay
Unknown 9 Awakening is a single-player, third-person, narrative-driven, action-adventure game that follows the story of Haroona — a Quaestor born with the ability to venture into the Fold, a mysterious dimension that overlaps our own.
On her quest for powerful hidden knowledge, she learns to master her unique connection to the Fold, allowing her to channel its powers into our world.
This does not go unnoticed, as Haroona quickly becomes the target of the Ascendants, a splinter faction of a secret organization known as the Leap Year Society, seeking to use the Fold to alter the course of human history.
Players take on the role of Haroona, going on a journey to right the wrongs of her past.
As the quest unfolds, players choose to stay hidden in the shadows or fight by stepping into their enemies to control them, dodging bullets, shielding attacks, hurling energy, and devising creative combat combinations.
