What is The Void?
This first-person survival adventure follows a soul seeking escape from a gray limbo divided into separate chambers. You grow, hunt for, and mine a resource called Color, using it to fight creatures and feed the Sisters to unlock new areas. You perform key actions by drawing symbols, with results depending on the symbol and color used.
