About Posthuman: Sanctuary
https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/806910/extras/616px_leader.png
"A bitter-tasting rain washes over the raw wreckage of human civilization. With only a heavy pipe to defend you, you forge out of your threadbare shelter, desperate for food. At first, you think you must be imagining the strains of an old favorite song rising above the sound of wind and leaves, but you follow the pounding heartbeat of familiar music until you’re sure you're not dreaming. It leads you to a dilapidated house lying among the trees. The curtains are drawn, but there’s light inside. The front door is ajar. Inside, a figure in a brittle, wrinkled suit sits on a sofa, listening to a record deck. You haven't seen another living thing in so very long.
Only when she turns slowly to face you do you notice that her head is much too large, grotesquely misshapen. Your hand tightens on the pipe.
You need to decide what to do ... and the others are watching."

Posthuman: Sanctuary is a digital game set in the world of the successful Posthuman and Posthuman Saga board games. In Posthuman: Sanctuary you are a survivor in a near-future Europe that has collapsed under the weight of its own political errors, in the chilling wake of a bloody class war fueled by genetic modifications and radical technology. If you can only reach the sanctuary of the Fortress, you may learn more - and ensure your own survival. But to forge across a crumbled land where resources are spare and mutants roam the ruined mansions and markets alike, you’ll need a team behind you.
Carefully balancing risk and reward, you and your team quest into the unknown, gradually unveiling a map of terrain and encounters that you shape to your liking every time you play. In classic turn-based encounters, aggressors who have lost their humanity to mutations - or lost their good sense to the terror - will challenge you to make the most of your group's skills and to use your best judgment about their safety.
And you're in danger, too - some wounds might cause you to take on mutations of your own. If you mutate, your followers may begin to fear and distrust you, but the world of Posthuman: Sanctuary just might offer you paths and powers that just aren’t available to mere humans.

The game draws on elements from tabletop games and blends them into a unique single-player RPG with a strong narrative focus. It's about surviving the end of the world - and keeping your humanity. Posthuman: Sanctuary is part rogue-lite, with combat, team management and exploration elements, and part interactive fiction, where the choices you make will weigh on your chances and shape your experience.
With branching narrative encounters and a rich network of weather, health, location and other conditions affecting them, Posthuman: Sanctuary exists to be discovered and rediscovered. And just when you think you know it all, more mysteries rustle in the shadows at the world's edges.

UPDATE: SKIP THIS GAME, It's dead..... no update in months, nothing from the dev's. Buy the board games instead. I played this ages ago and thought it had potential, i reloaded it the other day in hopes something was different. I have to say this game is damn depressing. To the point that after a few games you just want to never play this game, the endless bad weather, the RNG that is constantly messing you up. Trying to flee mobs that you should not be fighting early on. I think if they stuck to the board game rather than try to create something a bit different they may have been better off. In its current state don't was your money.7 found this helpful
Fun game with a intuitive easy to get into tabletop style with survival mechanics that are exciting to experience where scrounging for food, medical supplies and other survival gear can have one appreciating that one can of food which was found or celebrating when scoring a big haul. Graphics are well done with plenty of game enriching detail from the look of your character with plenty of visual options to change their appearance to weather patterns full of dreary rainy gloom or inspiring sunshine radiance. Nice use of dice rolling where everything feels just right as i never felt the ai was cheating and commonsense is rewarded as one travels the devastated landscape once ruled by humans where moral choices abound. Will you help a mutant that may instantly turn around to rip you apart limb from limb or leave him to be degraded and tortured at the hands of your fellow humans? Music and audio do an excellent job while traveling and when in combat giving a sense of danger appearing at any moment depending on where you lay down land tiles on the map to continue onward. POSTHUMAN: SANCTUARY, BUY IT! PLAY IT! Survive in a horrific world GONE INSANE!!! as mankind faces unspeakable ni…3 found this helpful
I enjoyed the boardgame, so I took a chance on the computer game. There were so many bugs when I started I thought I'd just come back to it later, after all, early access; however, the game is completely dead and abandoned. Last updates have been over a year ago, and devs are gone, "working on other projects". So they leave the game up, hoping to sell more of a defunct mess. It's not a good port of the boardgame if that's what you're hoping, even in it's current state.1 found this helpful
Good start.1 found this helpful
Game is very unintuitive. Makes you wonder if the people who made it ever designed a video game before.
Sometimes you get lots of food, other times you really struggle. But it's fun and addictive, just like the original.
