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.
