Resource management is also key, as you'll need to find and wisely use items to maintain your health, stamina, and sanity.

Prologue

Oman's golden age, once a beacon of trade, crumbled in the face of a terrifying new threat causing fear and chaos, in the beginning of the 19th century. Djinn emerging from the darkness began to reclaim what was theirs eons ago. While they stalked the night and whispered into the hearts, the magicians were corrupting the folk using all kinds of deceptive means. By 1840, even the Sultan felt compelled to relocate his capital to Zanzibar in Africa, leaving the land to face its inevitable demise.
