About:

Welcome to Sanguine, a survival horror experience that revives the terrifying spirit of the late 90s. Step into the ruined town of Craven Oaks, where something inhuman has been unleashed. To survive, you must scavenge, fight, solve puzzles, and piece together the fragments of your past before the Bloods consume everything.

Gameplay Overview:

  • Classic PSX Survival Horror – Fixed camera angles, tank controls, and authentic low-poly visuals deliver an unsettling retro experience.
  • Dual Gameplay Modes – Play your way with both Classic (fixed camera angles) and Modern (third-person, over-the-shoulder) perspectives, each offering a distinct survival experience.
  • Two Interwoven Campaigns – Experience the nightmare from different perspectives in two playable campaigns, each with unique stories that unfold across the same haunting events.
  • Resource Management – Every bullet counts. Scavenge, craft, and manage your inventory to endure the nightmare.
  • Weapon Variety – From knives to shotguns, discover and upgrade weapons to fight back against the enemy.
  • Rich Story & Puzzles – Unravel a mystery woven through intricate puzzles, environmental storytelling, and chilling encounters.
  • Immersive Atmosphere – Dynamic lighting, ambient effects, and a haunting soundscape heighten tension at every turn.
  • Original Music & Cutscenes – Cinematic sequences and a unique soundtrack draw you deeper into the horror.
  • Found Footage Discovery – Collect live-action VHS tapes, filmed in real life and spliced into the game, to uncover hidden truths.
  • Steam Achievements – Test your skills and uncover secrets as you progress.

Story & Characters:

You play as Kris, a survivor pulled from the wreckage of a car crash with no memory of who she is. Stranded in Craven Oaks, she discovers a community torn apart by a nightmare born from AlTran Corporation’s shadowy experiments.

  • Kris: Strong-willed yet vulnerable, her amnesia makes every step a battle between survival and self-discovery.
  • The Bloods: Hive-minded parasites that seize human hosts, twisting them into relentless, monstrous forms.
  • AlTran Corporation: Led by the enigmatic Dr. Gabriel Altran, the company’s grip on Craven Oaks hides dark secrets buried beneath its pursuit of innovation.

As Kris navigates the town, she’ll encounter other survivors—some allies, some threats. Each choice and alliance could mean the difference between survival and assimilation.

The town itself becomes an enemy: from the quiet diner where it all begins, to abandoned streets, sewer tunnels, and the looming AlTran headquarters, every corner hides danger and revelation.

Why Sanguine?

Sanguine isn’t just a clear love letter to the 90's classics—it’s a modern reimagining. By blending retro aesthetics, atmospheric design, live-action VHS tapes, and branching story choices, the game offers a nostalgic yet fresh horror experience built for fans of true survival horror.

Wishlist now, survive later—if you can.

This game is awesome! Very excited to see the full release!

Thank you so much for playing! Going to watch this right now :)

Great game! Excited for the full release. This definitely had the feel for RE style. Does take time to get used to the controls and the mechanics but very engaging overall. The things I like to point out would be the fixed camera angles - I thought the camera would be stationary and not following the character while moving her, loot boxes icon - I think you should add icons in the map so that if we did not looted the box but we have discovered it, then we should be able to visit back later (also add drop items icons), audio 3D directional - example would be the radio that I pointed out in the video as I was walking away from it, I still hear the radio like it is front of me, and some instruction messages should show controller buttons if user is using controller.

Overall, this game seems promising and the story is pretty good. Appreciate you reaching out. Not many views unfortunately but hopefully more people can check it on here.

Nice really good game I like it and well made anyway well done keep it up!

Thank you!
