About Sanguine Melancholia

Centuries have passed after an invasion by demonic entities, and humanity is on the brink of extinction. A young detective miraculously survives a train crash, and finds himself falsely accused of being a member of the rebel group Maelstrom. As things grow more and more chaotic, and more and more people are met, Adrien's view of the world is changed significantly. Despite this, not once does he lose sight of his destination.

With no train to take him, he sets out on foot for the beautiful mountain called Candlelight Tor, refusing to tell anyone why he's going. By his side is a young man who is essentially his polar opposite...and yet neither traveller wishes to leave the other's side.


Sanguine Melancholia is a tactical RPG set in a dystopian future where demons have decimated the population. The only way to make a difference is to Hunt, an illegal practice said to provide a rush like no other.

Features:
  • A story delivered in a standard visual novel format, centred around depression, anxiety, and romance. Fluidly shifts between combat and story segments.
  • A realistic, dynamic, and memorable cast of characters.
  • Numerous party members to choose from- customize your team to your liking.
  • A heavy focus on strategic, status-based combat: every enemy encounter requires a different strategy, as nearly every enemy has unique ailments they can inflict upon your team.
  • Bonus events to unlock and view at any time.
  • A diverse, powerful soundtrack featuring music from multiple artists.
  • One particularly entertaining android.

Игра 'Sanguine Melancholia' - это удивительное погружение в мир готической романтики и глубокой меланхолии. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в пиксельной графике, создает завораживающую атмосферу, которая проникает в самое сердце. Сюжет, хотя и не сложный в своей основе, трогает до глубины души. Главный герой, преследуемый трагическим прошлым, пытается найти утешение в странном и мрачном мире. Встречающиеся персонажи, каждый со своей историей и душевной болью, добавляют глубины повествованию. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет общую атмосферу, создавая ощущение безысходности и тоски. Не ожидайте динамичного геймплея, 'Sanguine Melancholia' - это скорее интерактивная новелла, где важна атмосфера и эмоциональная составляющая. Игра рекомендуется всем, кто ценит атмосферные и трогательные истории, готов погрузиться в мир меланхолии и не боится столкнуться с темами потери и одиночества. Это не просто игра, это опыт, который оставляет после себя глубокий след.

Seems alright. Kind of wish the "world box" had an explanation, it feels immersion breaking to be thrown into it, but I guess it's not supposed to be part of the game. Also this might be a yaoi game, guess I'd have to keep playing to find out.

RPG Maker strikes again! "Sanguine Melancholia" is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. This RPG Maker asset flip is more e-book than game, with quite a lot of absolutely garbage high school anime club dropout fan-fiction writing about demons or some other trash... so somehow the "developer" of this garbage found a way to make RPG Maker asset flips even worse. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quali…
