(Game Info)
You are Haroona, a Quaestor born with the ability to venture into a mysterious dimension that overlaps our own, known only as the Fold. On her quest for powerful hidden knowledge, Haroona will learn to master her unique connection to the Fold, which allows her to channel its powers into our world… But such power does not go unnoticed and Haroona quickly becomes the target of a splinter faction calling themselves the Ascendants, who want to use the Fold to alter the course of human history.

Final Thoughts

Unknown 9: Awakening is a story-driven title that try's to be the next big cinematic gaming experience but fails due to poor gameplay mechanics, lackluster graphical presentation, and missing core game factors. Though the story is strong, this is not an experience I think many will enjoy unless it has a significant price drop or comes to a streaming game service for free.
