Sanction

Sanction is a procedurally generated FPS/RPG set in the desolate wasteland left by the Final War. You play a prisoner sent out from the safety of a doomsday bunker to gather supplies for your community; your freedom and the community’s livelihood depend on your survival.

Scavenge the wasteland

You search ruins, forge alliances and take on faction quests while dealing with scarce food and water. You also need to maintain your community and its air filters. Supplies can come from drops, merchants or the remains of past scavengers, known as kettle-heads or white suits.

The surface is home to factions, merchants and hostile life:

• Spirit-Walkers: Once buried bodies, they carry an early vaccine intended to reshape the afterlife according to the consumer’s wishes within the diseased brain. Fallout from the war contaminated the brains and reawakened them in angelic forms, turning a common afterlife wish into a grim reality.
• Anomalous Orbs: Volatile, predatory matter that devours living things. An alien species left the orbs behind to guard artifacts after briefly visiting during the Final War, using the chaos to steal Earth’s resources and technology.
• AI Drones: A wealthy corporation created fully autonomous bombing drones as the global death toll passed 50%. Powered by solar and wind energy, they resupply from stockpiles and continue their objective after the corporation’s collapse.

Choose a skill pill

Each morning, company protocol gives you a choice of a free skill pill. Pills enhance traits such as luck, agility, vitality, appetite or lung capacity, and each enhancement lasts until you return home from your sentence.

Breed beetles

Beetles provide protein and can supply a variety of items. You breed them to create unusual combinations, then let them gather specific items for you from the comfort of your bunker.

Use anomalous rituals

At a ritual altar, you can harness energy from anomalous artifacts and practice dark arts. The altar converts that energy to duplicate any item placed on it: inexpensive items are easy to copy, while valuable ones require much more power.
