About the Game

A journey to destroy the witches—and bring a loved one back from the dead.

To bring her deceased sister back to life,
Sana sets out in search of three Golden Apples,
said to grant any wish.

The apples are held by three witches
who dwell deep within the Lost Forest.

Scattering petals.
Falling lights.
Beautiful yet deadly waves of bullets closing in like blades.

Each witch standing in Sana’s path carries her own wish,
her own twisted convictions,
and her own madness.

Sana does not care what she must sacrifice
as long as she can bring her sister back.

At the end of her wish, will she find salvation—
or destruction?

SANASANA is a vertically scrolling bullet hell shooter
set in a dark fantasy world,
telling the story of a young girl and the eccentric witches she must defeat.

—How much will she lose to grant her wish?

This is a dark fantasy shooter about wishes and sacrifice.
