Masks of the Void Gameplay
The Story
Masks of the Void sees Iret try to save her Boreal Island home, under imminent threat by the realm-eating god-like being, the Everlasting Night. Guided by her adopted father, Dr. Herdesett, Iret gains access to the potent Astral Masks with the help of a mysterious stranger. Repeatedly traveling to the storm-battered Vortex, a fragmented dimension closest to the Entity, Iret comes face to face with powerful warped Echoes and a darker future self.
Iret must gain not only enough Astral Masks, power, and skill to vanquish the Everlasting Night for good, but also enlist the aid of secretive supporting characters she will encounter along the way. Time and time again, Iret will have to face the potent dangers on her repeated journeys through the dangerous Vortex and Astral Planes until, at last, she is ready to face the Entity. How and when she will finish her fight with the Everlasting Night depends on the choices she made in the previous loops. The balance between light and dark is key in allowing Iret to understand how to harness the Maks of the Void’s ultimate power.
