Games Like Anhedonia: Sanctuary of Ash

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.
