About This Game

You light a torch. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Do you hide or make a run for it?

Sancta is an atmospheric first-person horror adventure set in the dungeons beneath a forgotten monastery. Light helps you survive. Darkness gives you somewhere to hide from enemies you can’t kill, but it can also conceal a trap or the way out.

Craft a Torch and Find Shelter

Search dungeons and crypts for food and materials, then craft torches and other equipment. Keep an eye on your supplies and find safe places to sleep. Hunger, fatigue, and fear affect what you can do. When you hear an enemy nearby, sneak past, hide, or run.

Make Use of What You Find

Move crates, lay a plank across a gap, or break through a weakened wall. Solve puzzles, get past traps, and look for hidden passages. Even an ordinary object you find in the dungeon can open a way forward.

Uncover What Happened Beneath the Monastery

Piece together the story of a cult, its forbidden rituals, and a woman whose fate changed the monastery. Find clues in books, journals, fragments of memories, and the dungeons themselves. Flickering torchlight reveals details you might miss in the dark. You might hear footsteps behind a wall long before you learn who they belong to.

Three chapters and at least six hours of gameplay. You can spend considerably longer underground if you explore side passages, search for secret rooms, or uncover the alternate endings.

How deep will you dare to go when a torch flame is all that stands between you and the dark?
