Building on the sanity system from Morbid: The Seven Acolytes, your choices will send you down a path of Enlightenment or Insanity.
To reach Enlightenment will grant incredible resilience to your Stamina, while fortifying the Impact of your attacks to stop enemies in their tracks and usher in a mighty Critical Blow. You also accumulate more experience while Enlightened. Descend into the depths of madness and Insanity will fill you with an unrelenting power, dealing more health damage than ever before. But be warned, you’ll also take more damage as you frenzy against the hideous creatures in the lands of Ire.
