Shipwrecked on an undiscovered island is a hapless seaman. Shambling individuals start to emerge in valleys shrouded in fog, where smiling, moss-covered corpses cling to rusting arms. Labyrinthine corridors beneath decaying, salt-worn constructions lead to horrific evil that people have long forgotten.

Fast, vicious, and complicated 2D combat is flawlessly incorporated with fully realised RPG features in Salt and Sanctuary. Explore a cursed region of abandoned cities, desecrated monuments, bloody dungeons, and the fallen lords they once honoured. Discover, manufacture, and upgrade over 600 weapons, armour pieces, spells, and objects.

Salt and Sanctuary is the most ambitious game produced by Ska Studios, the multi-award-winning independent studio behind a long line of visually striking, viscerally intense, and ruthlessly performed action games like The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile and Charlie Murder.
