What is COVEN?

This single-player first-person shooter begins in an alternate seventeenth century, where a girl returns from death to avenge her wrongful execution for witchcraft. You shoot and slash through villages, temples, and forests, using dashes, slides, and slowed time to survive. The story unfolds across episodes, with more planned during Early Access.
