And so again they return to that place

Where the dust of lands long gone have settled

Where Their light had risen, then fallen, then risen again

Where all those lost lambs of The Albion are herded away

To that place below, beyond, between Their light



That place,

The Saplum Cradle

The Saplum Cradle is a choose-your-own-adventure horror game about using the memories of the dead to scavenge lost civilisations in a desert wasteland.

You wander this wasteland as Amber, a small child under the care of Asterisk, a mysterious silhouetted being that acts as her guardian.

Amber is able to read the memories of the dead, and must use this power to look for supplies hidden among the ruins.

Of course, one should always be careful when exploring: there's always a reason something falls into the Saplum Cradle, and more often than not that reason survives the fall.
