## Summary

HELENA : Cloud District is a first-person exploration and photography game set in a vast, decaying megastructure overgrown with unusual plants. Players explore its dangerous, layered spaces and take photographs to uncover the structure’s history, making the camera and the need to choose what to document central to the experience.

The game is non-linear, with players free to find their own routes using movement abilities such as sliding, hovering and gliding. They can carry only three photographs at a time and must return them to a computer at the centre of the structure. HELENA : Cloud District is due out on 29 October, the same day as Hypnos.
