Saturnine, developed and published by Hosted Games for PC, is a text-based role-playing game, where you step into the shoes of the oldest android in the Solar System. As one of the remnants of the ancient past, it is your duty to engage in combat and preserve the universe. 

A full-fledged story 

Saturnine offers a choice-driven experience through interactive fiction and text-based gameplay, where each decision shapes the narrative and leads to one of multiple possible endings. However, since it is a 70,000-word novel, it contains no graphics or sound effects, which can detract from the overall gaming experience. 

Although without visuals, the game delivers a full-fledged story about an ancient android living among humans who fights against meta-humans that pose danger to them and their friends after a heist attempt. Note that the title depicts written descriptions of sex and violence and explores themes of abuse and trauma. 

Interactive choice-based novel 

Despite its lack of visuals or sound, Saturnine succeeds as a deeply engaging narrative experience. With rich writing and meaningful choices, it offers a thought-provoking journey through identity, survival, and sacrifice, ideal for fans of interactive fiction who value story over spectacle and aren’t afraid to explore mature themes.
