Our take on Sagebrush

The compact runtime keeps the focus on one compound and its history, but leaves little room for a long-form adventure. Exploration and found materials carry the experience, rather than a broad range of gameplay systems.

What is Sagebrush?

Sagebrush is a short first-person narrative adventure set at Black Sage Ranch, a remote New Mexico compound once home to Perfect Heaven, an apocalyptic cult.

Years after its members died in a mass suicide, players explore the ranch, including its trailers, gathering spaces, and old mines. Notes, recordings, and personal belongings reveal details about the people who lived there, their beliefs, and their reasons for joining and leaving. The game uses a low-resolution, low-poly visual style alongside a soundscape and ambient music. Its estimated playtime is 60–120 minutes.

How Sagebrush plays

01Clue-based narrative: Notes, audio recordings, and personal items offer pieces of the former residents’ stories.
02Compound exploration: The setting includes living quarters, communal spaces, and mines beneath the ranch.
03Ambient soundscape: Environmental audio and original ambient music accompany exploration of the desert setting.
