It promises "branching narratives, moral dilemmas, and challenging tactical scenarios." Check out the announcement trailer (which is a mix of in-engine cinematics and actual gameplay) above and the first screenshots in the gallery below. Ikon says "The game tracks how you handle each scenario and adjusts the narrative organically: there are no binary choices, everything is decided through your gameplay."
