About This Game

Anhedonia: Sanctuary of Ash is a third-person medieval dark fantasy adventure RPG with survival horror elements, set in a ruined 13th-century England.

Villages stand abandoned, churches conceal the remnants of disturbing rituals, and something still moves among the dead. Explore a world scarred by demonic corruption, where the traces of those who came before you may be the only guide to what lies ahead.

Venture through forgotten settlements, mist-covered swamps and underground passages. Search abandoned homes, read the notes left behind and piece together the stories buried in the ruins.

Progress demands observation. Find keys, decipher clues and solve environmental puzzles to open new paths. Look beyond the obvious route to discover hidden places and supplies that may help you survive the journey.

But you are not alone. Watch your surroundings, tend to your wounds and decide when to confront what waits ahead.

EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY
Explore deserted villages, ruined churches, mines and swamps. Search for supplies, uncover hidden passages and discover what happened through notes, objects and the environments themselves.

ENVIRONMENTAL PUZZLESExamine your surroundings and connect the clues. Find missing items, unlock sealed doors and unravel ritual puzzles to reach new areas and hidden secrets.

EXORCISMS
Some of the possessed can still be saved. Wield your crucifix and confront the forces holding them captive. Recognize the demon’s attacks and respond at the right moment to complete the exorcism.

COMBAT AND STEALTH
Face twisted creatures in third-person combat. Time your attacks and dodges, manage your stamina and use stealth to approach enemies unseen. Choose when to engage and look for opportunities to strike from hiding.

RESOURCES AND SURVIVAL
Search your surroundings for ammunition, bandages and useful items. Keep track of your supplies and treat your wounds as you push deeper into hostile territory.

You are Edgar, a former priest with a fractured memory. You cannot remember how you entered this forest, but the horrors waiting within it leave little time for questions.

Follow the traces of a mysterious cult, uncover the meaning of its rituals and seek out those who can still be freed from possession. Among the scattered writings and the remains of the dead, a warning emerges: He is coming.
