Trapped in a cursed tomb, cooperate to survive and escape the forsaken ruins in which the shadows creep closer… or succumb to corruption and hunt down those who were once your allies. An asymmetrical co-op experience for up to 6 players
Sanctua
Steam
What began as a straightforward archaeological expedition has turned into a nightmare. Explorers trapped inside a tomb that has been sealed for centuries desperately try to escape, when one among them succumbs slowly to corruption, becoming a dark guardian determined to protect the secrets of these ruins at all costs.
Play as an Explorer, using cooperation, ingenuity, stealth, and adaptability to survive. Or embrace the darkness as the Ancient: a corrupted being with heightened senses, relentlessly hunting those who were once your allies.
Each role provides unique gameplay, blending strategy, suspense, and unpredictability.

Your greatest strength lies in adapting to your surroundings and staying stealthy, at least as much as your team allows. If trouble finds you, you'll just have a few rudimentary tools to defend yourself.
And should death find you, it's not necessarily the end; corruption might bring you back in an unexpected form, capable of turning the tide in surprising ways.

Your humanity slips away as your senses sharpen and your powers grow. Persistently track your former companions, corrupting or banishing them from your sanctuary forever. Nothing must escape these walls.
Every journey into these ruins holds new surprises. The environment constantly shifts, presenting fresh challenges and unexpected discoveries. An immersive audio engine and proximity voice chat lie at the heart of gameplay, delivering a unique cooperative experience full of twists and turns.
Uncover truths buried for centuries, or ensure they remain forever hidden within these ruins. Accessible and deeply immersive, Sanctua offers varied challenges and exceptional replayability.
Work together to survive... or succumb to the temptation of corruption. After all, nobody's perfect!

Play with up to 5 of your friends as an explorer or embrace the Ancient. Fate chooses your role and even death might transform you into something unexpected.
Strategize, sneak, set traps, and fight. Your creativity, adaptability, and discretion are your greatest assets to survive, or succumb slowly to corruption and become a restless hunter, using corruption to protect your tomb.
Communicate carefully through a proximity-based voice chat, your voice and actions influence not only other players but also the living environment itself. Silence can keep you hidden, while sound might serve as a clever distraction... or a deadly mistake.
Explore, adapt, each expedition reshapes the map layout, challenges, and discoveries. No two adventures will ever be the same.
Adapt your experience with adjustable difficulty and varied gameplay settings. Sanctua adapts to your playstyle, providing challenges for any team.
Easy-to-learn mechanics with deep and varied gameplay, offering surprising challenges for both casual and seasoned players
