Description: Edge of Sanity is an atmospheric survival horror inspired by the Cthulhu mythology and the events of the Cold War. The action takes place in the harsh and cold Alaskan desert, where players will not only have to fight monsters, but also maintain the life of their camp. You play as Carter, the leader of a small group of survivors who have to explore mysterious locations, search for resources and defend themselves from terrible creatures born in Lovecraft’s nightmares. At the same time, you need to manage the state of the camp: monitor food supplies, water and the morale of the group.
The game combines 2D platform elements with camp management and complex moral choices. In search of resources, you explore abandoned laboratories, dark forests and caves, where dangers lurk at every turn. The mechanics of mental state play an important role: constant fear and stress can lead to madness, opening up new opportunities for crafting or plot forks. The longer you survive, the more the characters lose touch with reality.
You will also have to fight creepy creatures using different tactics and resources. Each monster has its own weaknesses that you need to study and use to win. The combat system is built on survival, so every step requires calculation and planning. But resources are limited, and you will have to choose between saving supplies for the camp or using them in battles and crafting.
The game’s graphical style is done in a 2D-drawn manner, where the details of the environment and characters convey a dark and oppressive atmosphere. Sound and music enhance the effect of presence, creating an unsettling feeling of imminent danger. In addition to the basic gameplay, Edge of Sanity includes many moral choices that affect not only the outcome of the game, but also the fate of your companions.
