Play the demo of first-person survival horror game SENARA: The Sacrament
Indie developer Influsion Inc. have released a demo of their upcoming first-person survival horror game SENARA: The Sacrament for Steam Next Fest, running today through March 2nd. Set aboard a mysterious derelict cruise liner, players must survive and escape as the ship teeters on the edge of ruin. You can catch a glimpse of its unspeakable horrors in the new demo trailer below:
SENARA: The Sacrament puts players in the role of a new recruit of a religious organization with a massive 6,000-ton ship: the Senara. Upon setting sail you wake up to find the crew missing, while unspeakably horrors roam its steel corridors. Hidden cult rituals, forbidden truths, and survivors with their own agendas await you in the darkness. In a place where blind faith and salvation intertwine, you’ll be forced to make choices that go far beyond survival.
Hearkening back to classic survival horror design, SENARA: The Sacrament offers a massive escape room where you must solve puzzles and use limited resources to your advantage if you’re to get out alive. In order to get out of the Senara alive, you’ll have to ration your resources, make use of stealth, and make difficult decisions regarding when to fight or flee. Explore the complex, intertwined corridors of this structure based on a real ship, uncover hidden passages, and gather clues to find the key to your escape.
This unholy tale is open to interpretation with snippets of truth scattered across documents, objects, and conversations between characters. Depending on what you believe and how you interpret the clues, the story can unfold in entirely different directions. With multiple endings based on your choices, your decisions affect not only your escape but also the fate of the Senara and what truth comes to light.

Using LiDAR, photogrammetry, and Unity HDRP pipelines, SENARA: The Sacrament offers a scan of a real-life documentary-level accuracy 6,000-ton ship. This precise reality reconstruction naturally adds an ultra immersive, uncanny playspace for players to get lost in.
“With this demo we want players to get a sense of SENARA: The Sacrament‘s nightmarish nautical setting and core gameplay loop,” said No-Jin Kwak, Director at Influsion Inc. “This is a classic survival horror experience where players must manage limited resources, solve puzzles, and explore a non-linear map that they gradually uncover. We don’t see a lot of this style of game anymore, so we think fans of classic survival horror will latch onto its moody atmosphere and suspenseful game design.”
