  • This 'stealthvania' is like if Prince of Persia never gave up on 2D and narrated your every move - 22 May 2025

    I'm a sucker for both retro side scrollers and stealth games, but since we've yet to get Mark of the Ninja 2 or some sort of Splinter Cell demake, I've rarely enjoyed the styles simultaneously. Thinking on it, though, they're a natural fit for one another—after all, premiere blockbuster sneak 'em up Assassin's Creed has a platforming titan lurking in its DNA: Prince of Persia, of which the original AC was nearly a spinoff...

  • Dev Diary #2 | The Art and the Sandfox 🖼️ - 13 May 2025

    Launch is on the horizon Fox-friends. In case you missed it, be sure to check out our previous dev diary where we shared some tips on traversal. In this dev diary we’re diving deeper, yet looking at the surface of the game – the art. It’s the first thing you see about the game and it’s the first thing created for The Siege and the Sandfox, acting as the catalyst for the game’s creation. We concepted how the world would look before anything else, making the art direction a key part of the game’s identity. Don’t forget to read to the end for our helpful Fox-friend tip 👀 Why pixel art? We’re big fans of pixel art’s simplistic beauty and the challenge of making a collection of squares look visually stunning. We knew we wanted to work with pixels, and to try to create a rich, warming, classic SNES-era like feel, while still making it our own and bringing it up to date with modern effects fr…

  • Dev Diary #1 | Parkour Platforming! 🤸 - 6 May 2025

    Just as our Sandfox slinks out of the shadows, so do we! With launch now on the horizon, we’re itching to unveil more about our upcoming stealthvania. In these developer diaries, we’ll burrow deeper into the core features with some helpful advice – beginning with traversal. PS. we’ve included a helpful tip at the end for you Fox-Friends 👀 Different Environments? Different Movements. We wanted each area to not just look different, but also play and feel different. To achieve a deeper level of immersion, we designed each environment to present its own challenges. You’ll need to adapt your movements to the differing obstacles and platforms each area holds: When venturing through deep, derelict prisons, crouch and scurry your way between crumbling walls. Ancient ruins are crumbling with age and dimly lit, so you’ll want to tread slowly and utilise the whole range of your dynamic camera. Ma…

  • Lush "pure stealth" metroidvania The Siege And The Sandfox launches in May - 29 April 2025

    We have all ridden the emotional rollercoaster of thinking that we're smart and patient enough to play a dedicated stealth game, then realising that we're inept and bored and just want to bonk things with a big axe. Still, I'm moderately enthused by this here release date trailer for The Siege And The Sandfox, a 2D metroidvania in which you clamber steadily out of a huge, opulent dungeon. It launches on 20th May, and puts me in mind of Prince Of Persia, Animal Well , Vagante and Blasphemous . Obligatory but sincere Google-baiting intro comparisons: done. Tray-tray, away! Read more

Short description

A 2D stealth Metroidvania with parkour platforming. Explore the majestic palace and ancient prisons of a kingdom under siege. Don the mantle of the legendary Sandfox as you venture into the ruins below, and discover the true threat from a sand-borne evil.

About this game

Explore the palace and cavernous depths below an ancient desert city, under siege by its neighbouring kingdom. Master dynamic parkour abilities and use cunning and stealth to discover the true threat lurking within. Evade guards, defeat enemies, befriend potential new allies, improve your skills, and foil the evil plot before it's too late. 2D Stealth Metroidvania with parkour exploration Rich retro-style pixel art, hand animated frame-by-frame, with modern effect from Unreal Engine 4 Immersive and dynamic audio builds tension and highlights danger An eclectic range of characters to discover and aid Smooth controls and fluid animations to avoid enemies, evade capture and find other ways to deal with threats Use stealth to sneak through the environments, incapacitating enemies or ghosting past as if you were never there. Run, jump, slide, shimmy, pole swing and more as you navigate the intricate game world, finding new items, equipment and skills, and unlocking previously-inaccessible locations. The Siege and the Sandfox is a stealth Metroidvania with one giant continuous world, linking the newer palace above, older prisons below, the ancient mausoleum, and an intricate network of caves woven amongst them all. Encounter unique enemies in each area - some more capable at pursuing sneaky Sandfoxes than others! Keep on your guard, as even an extinguished torch or door left open can trigger the suspicions of those out to get you. A shining city lies besieged in the heart of a vast desert. As the moon rises over the royal palace, a notorious assassin watches the king die to a traitor’s hand. Discovered, falsely accused and thrown into the labyrinthine dungeons below, they must escape to tell the tale else the city will fall. The Sandfox – known as the Kasha’i – is famed across the land as the legendary line of faithful protectors and servants to the crown. The current holder of this mantle has been left for dead at the base of ‘Traitor’s Fall’ - a deep pit leading to the depths of the underground prisons. Betrayed by the Queen in order to hide her regicide, you must now take on the role of the Sandfox and begin your journey back up to the palace. Save the ki…

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $14.99
  • Highest observed: $14.99

The Siege and the Sandfox's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $14.99, the highest is $14.99, and the first visible tracked price is $14.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

The Siege and the Sandfox's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $14.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $14.99. The latest run records $14.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $14.99
  • Current list price: $14.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Siege and the Sandfox at $14.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
