Salt and Sacrifice is the latest release from two-person development team, Ska Studios. It’s easy to think of Salt and Sacrifice as an out-and-out sequel to 2016’s Salt and Sanctuary.

Well, obviously that’s not the entirety of the game, but it is well over half of it, alongside other mechanics, visual style and story. This game is currently being developed by Burgos Games and is available on […]
