I'm not sure how to describe this, so I'll just stream of consciousness it.

First person action horror in a dark fantasy world, with lots of ways to kit out your character, multiple ways to get through areas including ultraviolence and finding ways to jump over things you didn't think you could for a bit of immersive sim-lite energy, like RE8 and King's Field had a child with Bloodborne and Dishonored. And there's the PSX aesthetic, because I like the way it looks.

Elspeth grew up as a witch of the borderlands, capable of handling the Viridian Magic, chaotic and lively, of the north and the Amber Magic, warm and ordered, of the south--though she harbors as much interest in more mundane science and the exciting new technologies coming out of the academies of both nations as they industrialize.

Witches are heretics, loved in the borders and barely tolerated anywhere else. They ensure that those who live far from the eyes of the gods are protected from those threats typically handled by priests wielding divine magic, and they ensure that when people living in the borderlands die, their bodies and souls find their way home instead of rotting into monstrous threats.

Her training is interrupted when the north and the borderlands collapse into a morass of chaotic magic, becoming an alien and dangerous space where mortals are twisted beyond recognition--and maybe not just mortals. And this space is going to continue expanding, swallowing up more and more of the land, as the years pass...

This alpha contains the first three levels, taking place while Elspeth is still a young teenager in training, on the days of the collapse of the north and her subsequent escape from the borders into the safer land of the south. Not that you'll be able to tell, cuz there are no level transitions and you'll just slam from level to level. Sorry about that. 
 
Thanks for reading this far, and let me know what you think.
