For the record, the game asks you to embody a Huntress whose mission is to put an end to the dark curse that has befallen the world. In particular, she can count on the help of her eagle to move around in the open-world, which breaks free from the usual codes of the open world.
"We wanted to encourage players to organically explore, to develop their understanding of the space they're playing in, and that's what prompted us to break, on a number of key points, with what is done in most conventional open worlds: there's no fast travel, no map and no game over, creative director Matt Nava said during State of Play in August 2020.

Nevertheless, the heroine has at her disposal a magic mask indicating places already explored and distant points of interest.
