What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Posthuman: Sanctuary is a unique blend of game mechanics - there are elements from board games, narrative adventures, role-playing and more. Going through Early Access will give us the opportunity to get as much feedback as possible on how the game plays before releasing it in full. This helps us make the game better and an overall more enjoyable experience.
We also want to keep adding more content to the game - being in Early Access helps us fund the development of a richer and more varied game experience for all of you who support us.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate roughly 6 to 9 months in Early Access to polish the game. This will, of course, depend on the feedback and support we receive while we're there. We don't envisage this period to extend beyond the maximum of 9 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Story Mode of the game will be unlocked for the full release. During Early Access players will have access to the Survival Mode of the game, which still allows the players to access all features of the gameplay. However, encounters which form part of the over-arching narrative of the game will not be available during Early Access.
We also plan to improve the UI and add more overall polish to the game, based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version of the game contains all game elements except for the Story Mode. Some of the graphics still need to be changed, and we are going to add more content to the game over time.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will consider all feedback and suggestions that the community will provide. We will carefully evaluate the impact that implementing the suggestion will have, both in terms of development effort, but most importantly in terms of the gameplay. Some suggestions may not be feasible to implement, of course, but we will strive to use the comments we receive to improve the game experience.”

About This Game


"A bitter-tasting rain washes over the raw wreckage of human civilization. With only a heavy pipe to defend you, you forge out of your threadbare shelter, desperate for food. At first, you think you must be imagining the strains of an old favorite song rising above the sound of wind and leaves, but you follow the pounding heartbeat of familiar music until you’re sure you're not dreaming. It leads you to a dilapidated house lying among the trees. The curtains are drawn, but there’s light inside. The front door is ajar. Inside, a figure in a brittle, wrinkled suit sits on a sofa, listening to a record deck. You haven't seen another living thing in so very long.

Only when she turns slowly to face you do you notice that her head is much too large, grotesquely misshapen. Your hand tightens on the pipe.

You need to decide what to do ... and the others are watching."


Posthuman: Sanctuary is a digital game set in the world of the successful Posthuman and Posthuman Saga board games. In Posthuman: Sanctuary you are a survivor in a near-future Europe that has collapsed under the weight of its own political errors, in the chilling wake of a bloody class war fueled by genetic modifications and radical technology. If you can only reach the sanctuary of the Fortress, you may learn more - and ensure your own survival. But to forge across a crumbled land where resources are spare and mutants roam the ruined mansions and markets alike, you’ll need a team behind you.

Carefully balancing risk and reward, you and your team quest into the unknown, gradually unveiling a map of terrain and encounters that you shape to your liking every time you play. In classic turn-based encounters, aggressors who have lost their humanity to mutations - or lost their good sense to the terror - will challenge you to make the most of your group's skills and to use your best judgment about their safety.

And you're in danger, too - some wounds might cause you to take on mutations of your own. If you mutate, your followers may begin to fear and distrust you, but the world of Posthuman: Sanctuary just might offer you paths and powers that just aren’t available to mere humans.


The game draws on elements from tabletop games and blends them into a unique single-player RPG with a strong narrative focus. It's about surviving the end of the world - and keeping your humanity. Posthuman: Sanctuary is part rogue-lite, with combat, team management and exploration elements, and part interactive fiction, where the choices you make will weigh on your chances and shape your experience.

With branching narrative encounters and a rich network of weather, health, location and other conditions affecting them, Posthuman: Sanctuary exists to be discovered and rediscovered. And just when you think you know it all, more mysteries rustle in the shadows at the world's edges.
