Habitus: Broken Mask

Step into a dystopian mosaic of city-states where industry and intrigue grind against each other. You are Inspector Aley, patrolling the brutal, smoldering district of Grayard—the industrial hellscape at the heart of the empire. A chilling case opens: ten elite Doctors, once trusted to treat crime as a plague, are murdered in ways that shake the city to its core. As the investigation unfolds, a larger threat surfaces—one that could doom Grayard unless you peel back the masks hiding power, priestly privilege, and conspiracy. In this world where every alliance is fragile and every rumor hides a kernel of truth, your choices determine who survives and who pays the price.

Habitus: Broken Mask blends investigative depth with a living, breathing world. This is an RPG at heart: interrogate suspects, sift through clues, and gather threads that braid into the narrative. Your dialog choices, the evidence you spotlight, and the leads you pursue shape the story and its outcomes. The city doesn’t reveal its secrets easily, and your approach—calculated pressure, trusted allies, or risky gambits—will bend the trajectory of the case in unpredictable ways.

In addition to classic investigation, the game embraces a TTRPG-style rhythm: events during interrogations unfold under pressure, demanding precise decisions and timely reactions. Success hinges on reading motives, managing limited time, and making bold calls when truth seems just out of reach. Each interrogation is a tense mini-play where one wrong move can derail progress or seal a suspect’s fate, pushing you toward new discoveries or dead ends.

Expect action-packed encounters as you confront Grayard’s chaotic workforce and the feared Nezakone gangs. Combat and strategy punctuate the investigation, requiring quick thinking and adaptive tactics. These moments punctuate the narrative with adrenaline, forcing you to decide when to press a suspect, fight for leverage, or fall back to reassess your leads while the city roils around you.

Choices matter, and the city’s fate rests on your shoulders. Habitus: Broken Mask offers multiple endings—your decisions, alliances, and how you respond to betrayal will tip Grayard toward salvation or ruin. Save it from crumbling under its own corruption, or watch as the mask fractures and the city falls into chaos. This indie title rewards careful deduction, strategic play, and a willingness to push through tension to uncover the truth beneath the smog and steel.

Experience investigation, strategy, and adrenaline in a tightly crafted indie game where every mask hides another motive, and every clue brings you closer to the truth—and to a city that may not survive your revelations.
