Back in 2023, South Korean developer Wonder Potion released Sanabi<\/a>, a sleek, cyberpunk-themed action platformer that saw players slinging themselves around levels with a giant grappling hook. Favourably compared to Katana Zero<\/a>, it received near-universal praise for its crisp pixel art, Bionic Commando-esque platforming challenges, and surprisingly involved storyline.<\/p>\n

Two years on from Sanabi’s launch, Wonder Potion has now released an expansion for Sanabi. Titled Sanabi: A Haunted Day<\/a>, it\u2019s a prequel spinoff in which you play as a different character from the main game. Also, it’s completely free.<\/p>\n

Sanabi: A Haunted Day puts players in the role of Major Song, who has a minor role in the base game. As mentioned, the DLC takes place before the events of Sanabi, with Song investigating a sprawling robots scrapyard which the DLC’s Steam page says is plagued by “strange phenomena”.<\/p>\n

Alongside the new location, Song has a completely different moveset from the base game’s protagonist. While she lacks a grappling hook, she is nonetheless capable of “agile aerial manoeuvres” such as an infinitely replenishable mid-air jump. She also wields a massive shotgun\u2014which I always find endearing in a videogame protagonist\u2014while other weapons await discovery in the scrapyard’s bowels.<\/p>\n

Wonder Potion doesn’t explain why it’s releasing the expansion for free. But it likely relates to promises made in the original’s game crowdfunding campaign, which raised 1.4 billion<\/a> won on Korean crowdfunding site Tumblbug. According to a Steam post<\/a> from September, one of Wonder Potion’s crowdfunding goals was to release two mini DLC episodes running between 20-30 minutes each.<\/p>\n
