Edge of Sanity Interview – PAX East 2024
PAX East 2024 is finally here. The Lords from the Iron Lords Podcast and LOGNET are live once again on the show floor. One of the many games being previewed on the show floor this year is Edge of Sanity from Vixa Games.
Edge of Sanity – PAX East 2024
Taking notes from survival horror games and other 2D indie horror games before it, Edge of Sanity explores psychological horror.
The games narrative is described as the following via Steam Page;
You were part of a resupply group helping scientists working in the Alaskan field lab. Finding the site devoid of humanity you stumble upon horrifying creatures, and during the escape your group splits up. You were lucky enough to make it out alive and set up a provisional camp to plan your future expeditions to find out what happened.
Major mechanics gleamed from the interview we had with the developers are a ‘Madness’ system and a big focus on stealth. Depending on your actions, you build up Madness points and the horror catches up with the protagonist. This will make them see things that aren’t really there and make encounters with actual threats all the more dangerous. In addition, stealth seemingly is a major element.
Using a lantern to light the path ahead and movement creating ‘echos’ that potential threats could pick up on, the player must be careful when and where to act.
Enjoy our interview with the developer below, explaining more about the game’s narrative and gameplay elements.
You can wishlist the game today on Steam and follow the developer on Twitter/X for further information.
