The independent Korean development studio Influsion Inc has revealed its new project with the release of a trailer, a first-person survival horror set entirely aboard a derelict oceanic vessel, the Senara.
In Senara: The Sacrament players will be catapulted into claustrophobic, perilous environments. Indeed, aboard, strange and dangerous rituals appear to be unfolding, distorting reality and revealing terrifying creatures that begin to roam the ship’s corridors, spreading fear. Players will assume the role of a recruit belonging to a mysterious religious organization and must survive by moving silently through the shadows, managing limited resources and fleeing when necessary.

The gameplay of the game focuses primarily on stealth and various environmental puzzles, where exploration is essential to discovering alternative paths and hidden passages. In the dark corridors of the Senara, we must pay close attention to sounds and above all proceed with caution to avoid being detected by the creatures that infest the ship. Consequently, in most situations, a stealth approach may prove to be the best strategy.
Another distinctive element of Senara: The Sacrament concerns the narrative. The story, in fact, is gradually revealed to the players, through documents and objects that can be collected throughout the various environments. In the early stages of the game, the plot is not clearly defined, but remains shrouded in mystery, thus encouraging players to carefully explore the ship in search of clues that may clarify the events.
Decisions made during the game will directly impact the story’s progression and lead to various multiple endings, an aspect that significantly enhances the game’s replayability. The narrative unfolds gradually and the player must remain calm to avoid being overwhelmed, alternating moments of exploration, investigative phases, stealth sequences and hurried escapes.
The ship we’ll explore in Senara: The Sacrament has been reconstructed with extreme realism, with every environmental component based on real-world scans thanks to the LiDAR technology. This special system uses lasers to measure distances and create highly precise 3D maps of the environments.
The release date of Senara: The Sacrament has not yet been announced, but a demo is expected to be released next February during Steam Next Fest. Currently, the only confirmed release platform is PC via Steam.
