🌊 ABOUT THE SERIES

Sanctum is a claustrophobic science-fiction horror saga centred on the American nuclear submarine USS Nebraska and its discovery of a vast underwater sanctuary off the Syrian coast.

Deep beneath the Mediterranean, the crew encounters the remnants of ancient civilizations, disturbing archaeological mysteries, and the imprisoned deity Môt, whose awakening threatens humanity.

Combining underwater exploration, occult mythology, military science fiction, and cosmic horror, the series explores forbidden knowledge, ancient evil, and humanity's vulnerability before incomprehensible supernatural powers.
