The spookiest month of the year, and the best time to play horror games and talk about them. So, of course, we couldn't leave you without a batch of new information regarding Edge of Sanity. As you may know, the main protagonist was part of the expedition crew when everything went to hell. One of your main tasks is to look out for them throughout the wilderness of Alaska. The good news is they will help you along your journey, but avoiding death will not be an option. Let's start with the first character you meet - Frank. He is your work buddy and one of the best local guides in these lands. His gut feeling makes him one of the first people to know that something is not right. He decides to investigate what happened, and, well... he has to pay the cost for it. [h2]Claire[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42848898/943bf0234c0bd38b2300184723278ffd807137db.gif[/img] Another character you meet along your journey is Claire - a PRISM HR Employee. She was sent with the resupply group to inspect the site, ensure everyone gets paid, and give the employees the impression that Prism takes care of them even if they work in remote sites and harsh conditions. She might add a bonus to the camp's morale... or quite the opposite. [h2]Scott[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42848898/721ea6a93e200cba50da47e2d569858b2fadbed2.gif[/img] He was not part of the resupply group. He has been a scientist at the research site from the beginning. Excited about research and possibilities, and not at all concerned about his own wellbeing, let alone the safety of others. But can knowledge be extracted from his twisted mind? His ramblings can bring uncertainty, muddle the truth, and spread madness. [h2]The Dog[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42848898/1eb1f0bb1adfaa5a56a4dc9cb63f9012e7b1624c.gif[/img] This flea-infested fur rug appeared one day in the camp and made himself at home. He doesn't look like he belongs to anyone, and there's no harm in keeping him - maybe he can even warn the survivors of approaching monsters. The dog could also bring you random items such as resources or torn pieces of journals and books. Some of these items could trigger missions, while others would simply add story flavor. [h2]Death is Inevitable[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42848898/142d846ddfad7063c54af85b3eb498b94f3adcb7.gif[/img] Taking care of yourself in the extremely hostile Alaskan area is a nightmare. Taking care of everyone is impossible. Saving everyone is not an option, and you will face choices with only bad outcomes. And with each mouth to feed, the amount of resources at the camp will increase, but staying on your own is out of the question. Fortunately, your crew can assist you and help during scouting missions, providing information about obtainable resources during side missions or even obtaining them on their own. Having them at the base also provides passive bonuses, so you can carefully choose what suits your playstyle best. These are just a few examples from a cast of diverse and engaging characters you will meet along your journey on the edge of sanity. Many of your mission objectives will focus on helping others, and your actions will determine how many you can save.
