Developer Vixa Games’ Cthulhu-inspired Survival Horror title Edge of Sanity will launch on September 13. Not only that, but the game has an updated demo available for you to try, which includes a full English voiceover for Carter, the main character. At launch, Edge of Sanity will also feature full voice acting for all NPCs in addition to the protagonist.
Edge of Sanity is a psychological survival horror game with an intense atmosphere inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Set in the unforgiving wilderness of Alaska during the Cold War, you play as Carter, a member of a resupply group helping scientists working in the Alaskan field lab. Finding the site devoid of humanity, you stumble upon horrifying creatures, and during the escape your group splits up. You were lucky enough to make it out alive and set up a provisional camp to plan your future expeditions to find out what happened.
However, it won’t be easy. You must use anything you find to stand a chance against these Eldritch horrors, uncover secrets of the mysterious Thurul Stone, and unveil a tragic story of missing scientists. Learn your enemies weaknesses, impair their senses, manage resources and make use of crafting abilities and the surrounding to survive against them. Even if you’re out of options, you can always rely on your trusty ax, but don’t be surprised if things don’t get in your favour.
Along with having to manage food and supplies, you’ll need to manage your own sanity. Each dramatic event during your traverse across Alaska leaves a permanent scar on your mind. Accumulating madness results in acquiring traumas, affecting Carter’s actions and sense of reality, opening new dialogue options, and enabling you to craft entirely new items.
In addition to Steam, Edge of Sanity will also launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
