Gameplay

With broken omni-directional mobility gear after a fall through castle ruins, the created protagonist explores tight underground passages on foot, solving environmental puzzles and slipping past Titans instead of fighting them directly. A single escorted partner from the main cast travels alongside the lead, offering hints and story beats as the pair pushes toward the surface.

Story

Set during the 57th Exterior Scouting Mission, the story has the Survey Corps investigating Elsnir Castle when Titans force the squad underground and the floor gives way. With their gear broken, the new protagonist, whose gender players choose, must team up with familiar Scouts to find an exit before the Titans do.
