12/15/25: Sanguine Developer Interview
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with DSurvivalHorror for an interview focused on Sanguine, its development journey, and the inspirations behind the game.
During the interview, we talk about drawing from classic 90’s survival horror titles, how Sanguine blends old-school tension with modern design, and what players can expect from the game now that it’s available in Early Access on Steam. We also touch on gameplay systems, atmosphere, and the design philosophy behind features like fixed camera angles, over-the-shoulder gameplay, and Survivor Stories.
A huge thank you to DSurvivalHorror for the great conversation and for helping spotlight indie survival horror.
