She wakes up in the Great Tomb of Nazarick and finds herself forced to participate in Ainz Ooal Gown\u2019s brutal experiments. She is left there alone and unarmed, with most of her memories gone. Now she must defeat Ainz\u2019s servants, recover her lost memories, and try to escape from the tomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clementine can take advantage of the game\u2019s parkour system to jump, slide, wall kick, and grapple hook across the map. A variety of weapons are available for her to use, including daggers, long swords, hammers, and more. Her magic abilities will come in handy not just in combat but also while traversing through the dungeon, like when burning ivy with flames and freezing enemies to create footholds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll discover Clementine\u2019s memory fragments as you explore the tomb, and collecting them will unravel the mysteries surrounding her predicament and Ainz\u2019s mysterious experiments.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-002.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20220401-197549-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In addition to the digital version of the game, two physical editions for the Nintendo Switch were announced in Japan: a standard edition (4,378 yen\/around $36) and a limited edition (8,118 yen\/around $66).
