Experience a story without words

A post-apocalyptic world reclaimed by nature awaits your exploration. There are no characters to explain the story to you. Instead, the silent traces of a bygone civilization tell the story themselves. Discover who you are, what happened to this world and why the robots are behaving so strangely.

Solve puzzles with electricity

Rootfault video 1

Solve challenging puzzles using your pulse ability, which electrifies nearby objects or cables. This allows you to activate or deactivate objects. Some puzzles require a precise approach, while others give you the freedom to find your own solution.

Adapt your fighting style

Specialize by selecting modules that can alter your abilities or fighting style. This allows you to develop your very own fighting style as you progress through the game - and switch it up at any time.

Rebuild a destroyed city
