This playful adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic techniques: Naoe reveals a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also features a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some lingering questions from the main storyline.
