About This Game

The Cost of Salvation is an interactive story set in the world of Wostra about duty, emotion, and the meaning of existence.

You play as Elu, an artificial being created long ago to preserve the balance of the world.

Guided by fragments of emotion and fading memories, Elu journeys through a world that carries the quiet echoes of the past — forming bonds that test the meaning of life and the cost of salvation itself.

But as memories and feelings begin to awaken within her, duty and emotion start to blur, and each cycle becomes a quiet search for meaning.

A Quiet Journey of Emotion

  • Experience intertwined lives, each revealing new fragments of Elu’s purpose and growing humanity.

  • Choices and emotions reshape how others see her — and how she begins to see herself.

  • Uncover the truth behind the Vessel, the Ancients, and the cycle that binds them.

A World Shaped by Feeling

  • Explore hand-drawn environments inspired by fantasy and nature.

  • Each choice changes Elu’s emotional alignment — Faith, Attachment, Bitterness — subtly altering dialogue and tone.

  • Gentle music and ambient sounds evoke reflection rather than urgency.

Key Features

  • Emotional, story-rich narrative with meaningful choices

  • Hand-drawn anime-style art and cinematic presentation

  • Slow-paced, atmospheric storytelling

  • Multiple endings influenced by emotional alignment

  • Designed for controller and keyboard play

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game explores mature emotional themes such as sacrifice, death, and the meaning of duty.
Certain story moments reference loss of life and moral choices, but there is no graphic violence, gore, or sexual content.
The tone remains introspective and symbolic rather than explicit.
