Cage of Sand is a time loop horror game for one or more players. You will need a deck of tarot cards, some paper and something to write with.
Inspired by the When they Cry series, Undertale and the kishoutenketsu storytelling structure, Cage of Sand follows a protagonist only vaguely aware of the fact that time has begun to repeat itself. They wake and begin their daily activities, interacting with and learning about other the characters that make up the story's cast. A seemingly insignificant event marks the beginning of a set of strange and gruesome murders, culminating in a deadly disaster before time repeats and the memories fade.
Play to discover the truth.
