About the Game

A Tale of Two Timelines

The story of Sanctum is told through two intertwined eras. As Raythen, you will explore its desolate ruins in the present. As Gideon, you will witness its final, desperate days in the past. Only by experiencing both can you piece together the full tragedy of its self-redemption.

Storyline 2196 (The Main Journey)

You are Raythen, a soul bound to the mortal realm for reasons forgotten. Driven by a lingering obsession, you must step alone into the ruins of Sanctum.

Battle the Remnants—souls trapped in long-decayed flesh—and the skeletal Soul Bound that still haunt the city. As you journey deeper, you will reclaim the lost memories of a Knight Commander, relearning forgotten combat arts and sorcery. Scour the ruins for legendary weapons, powerful equipment, and relics like potions and talismans to aid your quest into the heart of the dead city.

Storyline 1616 (The Fading Memory)

You are Gideon, witnessing firsthand the final days of a living Sanctum. Uncover its hidden history and watch the tragic fate of its key figures unfold.

As the right-hand man to Sanctum's leader, you will strive alongside its heroes in a desperate attempt to halt the great extinction. Uncover the secrets of its immense power, play its final, tragic cards, and bear witness to the inescapable fate that consumes them all.

World & Progression

Explore a semi-open world of interconnected levels. Unlock new paths at the central station to traverse between vastly different maps, each with unique scenery, architecture, and enemies. From scattered, weak Remnants in the outer ruins to powerful guardians in the royal palaces, you must evaluate the dangers ahead. Prepare wisely by purchasing and equipping the right potions and talismans to overcome the challenges that await.

Enemies & Combat

Combat is more than a test of skill; it's a strategic challenge. You will face not only powerful individuals but also coordinated squads. Analyze your enemy's moves, intentions, and weaknesses to choose between aggressive offense and a defensive approach. Against organized groups, you must decide: focus down a single target, or prioritize taking out their leader? Mastering your full arsenal of spells and skills is the key to breaking your foe's guard and claiming victory.

Decisions That Echo Through Time

In the past timeline, your decisions as Gideon carry immense weight. Issue commands and choose your strategy carefully. A single miscalculation could lead to the deaths of powerful allies under your command. In the present, Raythen will face the consequences—he may encounter the formidable Remnants of those you failed, long before he is ready for such a fight.
