What is Saturnalia?

In this third-person horror adventure, you explore a Sardinian village as four characters investigating a ritual tied to local traditions. Switch between them to gather clues, solve puzzles with found tools, and use matches to see. If all four die, the village layout changes, but story and puzzle progress remain.

For you if...

  • +you like piecing together mysteries without much guidance
  • +you enjoy slow-burn folk horror and nonlinear stories

Not for you if...

  • you want clear directions through unfamiliar streets
  • you dislike being chased while investigating and solving puzzles
  • you need a map that stays the same
