It’s happened again; fellow writer Chris Klimas and I, in the guise of our dynamic duo known as Twofold Secret, have released a new game. Focused on the eternal conflict between man and robots, Sanctuary 17 is a free-to-play browser based game you could be enjoying right now. To summarize myself:
Sanctuary was born from my desire to re-imagine one of my favorite games from my childhood: Night Stalker (for the Intellivision). A very simple game about a man trapped in a maze with an endless parade of deadly robots coming after him, it still managed to push my childhood fear button with great effect. Taking those feelings – isolation, fear of what was coming next – and putting them into a larger context was the driving force behind my early designs for Sanctuary.
There is also an honest-to-goodness paper manual available for those who wish to support the game, or who have a deep and abiding love of manuals.
So, go and give it a try, and have some fun!
