Right on time for Halloween, Santa Ragione’s psychedelic Survival Horror adventure game Saturnalia is available now on consoles and PC. And in an odd twist, you can even snag Saturnalia for free on the Epic Games Store!
After five years of development, and as part of the Epic Games Store’s weekly freebie game, Saturnalia can be had at no cost starting today until November 3rd.
Described as a fever dream inspired in equal parts by authentic Sardinian culture and classic Italian giallo horror films, Saturnalia is a tribute to Santa Ragione’s home country, and a celebration of survival-horror adventures across the medium. “After such a long journey, my team and I are beyond thrilled that you are finally getting a chance to play Saturnalia,” said Studio Director Pietro Righi Riva. “We took this opportunity to truly experiment with new mechanics and technology, and to tell a story that will surprise you. We hope it will make for a memorable Halloween season, and linger with you long after!”
Set in the Italian region of Sardinia in the year 1989, Saturnalia tells the story of a mysterious, centuries-old ritual that occurs on the night of the winter solstice. Take control of four distinct co-protagonists and utilize their unique abilities in order to avoid a terrible creature, expose the secrets haunting the town, and ultimately escape the village of Gravoi.
