Prepare to enforce divine judgment in Sancticide, the upcoming action RPG with roguelite elements from Red Square Games and Sylen Studio, launching into Steam Early Access on February 12, 2025.
Inspired by Slavic folklore and the acclaimed Polish book series Komornik by Michał Gołkowski, Sancticide puts players in the role of Ezechiel, a newly recruited sin collector tasked with fighting through the chaos of the End Times. Armed with an arsenal of both sacred and unholy weapons, players will hack, slash, and purge their way through apocalyptic battles that combine the intensity of old-school arena fighters with modern third-person action mechanics.
Heavenly Powers, Unholy Combat
Wield a divine armory, including blades blessed and cursed, ranged weaponry, and “Purple Powers”—abilities that bend time, alter perception, and unleash devastation upon foes. Every run offers a new challenge, pushing players to refine their strategies and uncover more of the game’s world of saints, sinners, and supernatural warfare.
At the core of Sancticide lies the unique “Kosherness” system, where every item is classified as either Kosher (approved by Them at The Top) or Unkosher. This system directly impacts:
- Side Quests – Certain missions will only unlock based on your Kosherness alignment.
- Exploration – Different paths and areas become available depending on your choices.
- NPC & Enemy Reactions – The world shifts around you as factions respond to your allegiances.

Sancticide will remain in Early Access for several months, with the developers actively gathering player feedback to shape the game’s future. Early Access Steam keys will be available soon, so those eager to experience Sancticide firsthand can request access at sancticide@acossidente.com.
