Well, except that you’re the one doing the sanity damage. Even the combat is similar: It features positioning, status effects, to-hit percentages, damage ranges, and sanity meters, so there’s not much new to see here? You strike out on missions where you have to fight through a series of encounters to reach a final goal, finding various items and events along the way.
