Developed by **Lightbulb Crew** , the creators of **Othercide** , _Ex Sanguis_ tasks players with commanding elite warriors called **Stillae** —Kael, Syra, and Liora—against the forces of Stasis to restore life to a dying world. A **demo is already available on Steam** , letting you try out all three Stillae and explore a variety of skills and unlockable traits.

The game emphasizes **strategic planning** , often requiring players to think multiple turns ahead. **Timeline Effects** let you manipulate turn order, while many Stillae abilities can move enemies to create **elaborate combos and chain reactions** , blending pure damage with environmental strategy.

_Ex Sanguis_ also incorporates **roguelite elements** , with procedurally generated levels leading up to challenging boss fights, while allowing players to **retain some progress** and gradually uncover the story of Stasia.

Although the full release date hasn’t been announced, you can **wishlist the game on Steam, try the demo, and follow Lightbulb Crew on Twitter** for the latest updates.
