AEON Trinkets imbued with the anomoly can be used to change the properties of your weapons and yourself (jump higher, run faster, lifesteal)
Slabs can be acquired by killing visionaires which provide you with new abilities
Powers from the Dishonored series were brought back to help with that feeling of familiarity
While each visionary can be killed in various ways, killing all eight of them in a single day can only be done in one way, challenge comes in figuring out the puzzle
Districts and their narrative vignettes change depending on the time of day
Set on Blackreef (inspired by Faroe Islands), former military base and the site of experiments which puts the island under a timeloop, a never ending party hosted by AEON takes place who want to maintain the loop
AEON is a group of rich, opportunistic 20-somethings who call themselves visionaries and want to live forever
Once the clock hits midnight, everything resets
Colt has to kill all eight targets (visionaries) in one day to break the loop
As long as one visionary is alive, the loop can be reset
You can tackle the targets in whatever order you want
Clock will move when you move between districts, completing an in-game objective will cause the clock to move forward more
Julianna hunts you throughout the game, can disguise herself as any NPC, can be controlled by either an AI or human player (remnants of Arkane's cancelled game The Crossing)
Multiplayer is optional and can be disabled at any time
One big map split into four districts which you can explore at will to gain knowledge, in pursuit of that perfect loop
Can't do every single thing in a single day so use your time wisely
No non-lethal runs, stealth plays a part but isn't the main focus like in Dishonored
No weapon or power wheels like dishonored, have to choose a specific loadout instead
