Salt and Sacrifice is a 2D action role-playing game developed by Ska Studios and released in 2022. It serves as a follow-up to Salt and Sanctuary, introducing a more open, hunt-focused structure. Players take on the role of a Marked Inquisitor tasked with tracking and defeating powerful mages across interconnected regions. Beyond sanctuary, a realm of elemental pandemonium awaits. A once-peaceful kingdom is plunged into chaos by encroaching tides of Mages: merciless embodiments of elemental chaos. The Marked Inquisitors, a doomed force of the condemned, once again mobilize to stand against the existential threat posed by Magic. A buried secret threatens to bring an ancient empire to utter ruin. In a land plagued by powerful and twisted Mages, the condemned Marked Inquisitors take up the hunt. As a Marked Inquisitor, you'll journey through the western frontier: pursuing, hunting, and obliterating the Mages that roam the realm. You may be bound to the Inquisition, but your choices are yours.
