Last year, we reported that Saturnalia, the psychedelic neon folk-horror game with an ever-changing village setting, developed by Italian developer Santa Ragione, launched on consoles and PC via the Epic Games Store.
More recently, the game was published on Steam and consistently offers substantial discounts to players. But in its most impressive gesture of releases yet, Limited Run Games has included Saturnalia as part of its physical edition lineup.
Until January 21st, players can pre-order a limited edition physical copy of the game and upon release, enjoy all the benefits of a physical game versus digital. In an age where more and more games are going for digital-only releases, such as the more recent horror blockbuster Alan Wake 2, physical editions are highly coveted by gamers hardcore and casual alike.
Game Features:
- The village structure changes each time all your characters die
- Discover characters’ special abilities, use tools and consumables to open shortcuts
- Keep narrative and puzzle progress across game-overs (roguelite)
- Manage your supply of matches to help your sight and solve puzzles
- Non-linear progression, dynamic and adaptive narrative
- Investigate the ritual at the heart of the game and use what you find to stop it
- Puzzles deeply integrated with the game world and narrative (not abstract)
- Artwork and animations inspired by stop-motion and rotoscoping film techniques
According to the developers, a single playthrough of Saturnalia takes about 10 hours and leads to several potential endings.
All copies are a standard edition, and the website notes:
This item is currently in manufacturing and artwork is subject to change. Products are typically not expected to ship until 4-6 months after the preorder window closes. Future production updates will be visible on the product page and your account page. All orders are considered final and can not be canceled.
You can pre-order a physical copy of Saturnalia for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch here on the Limited Run Games website.
