Mask of Idris takes players into the Forsaken World, a realm formed from histories erased by alterations to the past and consumed by the expanding Temporal Rift. Players will encounter Liv Voda, Valentin’s sister and the original guardian of the Temporal Rift, who views the protagonist as an outsider interfering in a world where they do not belong. A different Lou also awaits, carrying a past and tragedy of her own that will be revealed as the story unfolds.
