About the Game

Satanislas isn’t for the faint-hearted.

You will rage, that’s certain. Cry, very likely. Bleed? Only if you launch yourself into a wall hard enough.

What to expect

  • 50+ nightmare levels, 5 realms of torture

  • Pinpoint controls with instant retry — because you’ll be begging for more

  • An optional speedrun mode & a special leaderboard for the best — dream on if you think you’ll beat our times

  • Steam achievements and a playable demo — REAL players just buy the game outright

The deal is simple:

  • You spend your lives to buy bonusesyou pay

  • You earn back lives by accepting cursesyou suffer

The shop is deadly! With almost no purchase obligation…

Contracts are part of the scenery (we went with “Blood” wallpaper — you like it?)

  • Clear 10 levels of a realm as fast as possible

  • No-death: chain a hand-picked set of levels without losing a life (you’ll love it!)

  • Special contract: “One failure costs you 5 lives

  • …and so many more…
    Dozens of hours of dying!

Assuming you actually make progress (good one), you’ll earn a few rewards:

  • Customize your hero’s color and add accessories — the welding mask is in fashion right now

  • Pro tips from Satan himself — when he’s not mocking you, he can be “very kind”

In short… Just imagining you reaching the end of the game makes us laugh, not gonna lie!

We won’t blame you if you quit on the very first level. It’s the tutorial.
Just don’t tell your friends — that’d be kinda embarrassing
