Edge of Sanity

Game mechanics

Edge of Sanity is a side-scroller. Central to the gameplay are expeditions, during which we search primarily for food and other supplies. Gathered resources allow us not only to survive another night in the camp, but also serve us to create various items that may prove useful during subsequent expeditions.

Traversing the frosty valley, we encounter numerous cultists and dangerous monsters. We deal with opponents in a variety of ways - each of them has weak points, the discovery of which is the key to getting out of trouble unscathed. When everything else fails, we can try to defend ourselves with an axe, but this is most often akin to rushing headlong into the sun. At the same time, it should be remembered that each traumatic event leaves a permanent mark in the mind of the protagonist, which over time can begin to bring negative consequences....

However, the game is worth the candle, because in addition to useful resources, as well as valuable information, during the expeditions we find other survivors who, once they reach our camp, can be sent on exploration missions. However, we have to take care of them, because with dwindling supplies, their morale decreases, and thus their usefulness or loyalty to us.

Technical aspects

Graphics in Edge of Sanity is made in an atmospheric, cartoonish style, which evokes some associations with the Darkest Dungeon series.
