Saint of Chains

Saint of Chains is a first-person psychological survival horror game with a retro style inspired by the early 2000s. You play a father fighting through shifting nightmares to reach his wife and daughter, the family he lost after putting his stories and career ahead of them.

A shifting nightmare

You push down through apartments, into weeping sewers and into places you did not know you remembered. The walls shift and bleed into other places. The monsters feel personal, as if they came from sleepless nights and broken promises, and something waits at the bottom.

Fight to survive

You fight with whatever you can find, including pipes, bats, knives, cleavers and axes. Firearms such as pistols are also available, but they offer fragile hope: every bullet is a choice you must make to survive.

Manage your inventory

Your inventory has limited space, so keys, healing items, tools and puzzle pieces compete for room. You manage what little you have and decide what to keep.

Solve the puzzles

The puzzles draw on clues and logic from half-remembered dreams. They may seem simple at first, but their meaning becomes unsettling once it clicks.

A rescue mission

You fight to reach your family in a strange, sad journey about a man who will not let go. The game takes inspiration from the haunting look of the PS2 and early Xbox 360 era.
