Story
Set in alternate version of the 1930s, the player must assemble a team of misfits to stop an ancient cult named the Banished Court, which aims at achieving world domination.

Gameplay
While players only have access to three agents at the beginning of the game, the game will feature 10 characters at launch. Different characters have different weapons and abilities. For instance, Ana Sofia can heal her allies, while Celestine can hypnotize enemies. Other skills and perks can also be unlocked at the player's headquarters in the form of equippable cards. While these card can improve the player's combat efficiency, they may also hinder them by introducing negative traits. Characters may be stressed when they went on multiple consecutive missions. Their combat performance would be significantly impaired. Players are advised to regularly rotate their agents, allowing some to rest and rejuvenate at the league's headquarters.

In each mission, players can first freely explores the level in real time. In this infiltration phase, players can collect items and eliminate enemies undetected. This also allows players to place traps and place their agents in the perfect position before engaging enemies in combat. Combat in the game is turn-based, similar to games such as XCOM and Gears Tactics. Once the player defeats all enemies in an area, they will return to infiltration mode and continue to progress. While the map of each mission is handcrafted by the team, enemies and interactables are procedurally generated.

The game also features a world map. Members of the Lamplighters League must try to disrupt the progress of the game's three hostile factions as they wreak havoc around the world. Agents resting in the base can also be sent on side expeditions.
