Embark on a journey as a fallen priest in Anhedonia: Sanctuary of Ash, battling demons and restoring hope in a world consumed by divine wrath. Gather resources to rebuild the faint light of the Sanctuary of Ash.
About this game
Demons tore through the earth, dragging countless humans into the abyss while others were left wandering as hollowed bodies possessed by ancient hunger. Villages lie silent beneath drifting ash, and the world is ruled by shadows that wear human shapes.
But the land does not welcome the living.
Resources are scarce, the possessed strike without warning, and the corruption spreads with every passing night. To return alive is to defy the world itself — and every survivor rescued or relic recovered becomes a small victory against the coming oblivion.
Redemption lies in the Sanctuary of Ash — if you survive long enough to build it.
Brutal Third-Person Melee Combat
Fight demonic horrors and possessed humans using weighty, grounded melee combat. Master dodges, stamina, and timing — every encounter during the expedition is deadly.
Exorcise the Damned
Some of the possessed can still be saved. Perform exorcisms to cleanse corrupted souls and recruit survivors to aid your growing Sanctuary.
Rebuild the Sanctuary of Ash
Return survivors to the monastry ruins and slowly transform them into a functioning settlement.
Upgrade buildings, assign roles, and unlock new abilities, gear, and blessings.
Extraction Gameplay
Every expedition is a high-risk journey into hostile territory.
Explore the world to gather resources, rescue the possessed, and find master-quality gear.
Extract safely or lose everything. Escape the cursed lands before they take your sanity and soul.
Manage Edgar’s wounds, sanity, and fading stamina while navigating cursed zones.
A Tale of Guilt, Faith, and Redemption
Haunted by guilt and shaken faith, Edgar pushes deeper into a world consumed by corruption. As whispers of an approaching evil spread and the cult prepares for its arrival, he must uncover the truth behind the catastrophe, confront those responsible, and save whoever can still be saved.
