Atomfall Hit Close to Home in an Unexpected Way

1 month ago | twinfinite.net | Chris Jecks

Atomfall is a game full of surprises. It’s part of what makes the RPG stand out from its peers. On its default setting, there are no waypoints or objective markers to guide you. You can venture off into Slattendale, find a note that points you in a vague direction and fall down an hours-long rabbit hole following a lead to a story’s end and a nice little reward. What I didn’t expect, was a surprise that hit incredibly close to home for me specifically.

That’s why you’re here, so let’s run through where to find Sanza in Avowed. Sanza can be found at Sanza’s Emporium in the south corner of Northern Paradis.
