BlackSands

BlackSands is a knowledge-based FPS in which you are trapped in a temporal loop, forced to fight again and again in an arena whose depths you do not know. Armed only with a strange energy relic, you dash and shoot through waves of enemies while searching for a way out.

The arena

Each loop gives you another chance to explore the arena and understand its complex layout. You encounter puzzles, secret interactions and unexpected paths. As you make discoveries, an interactive map records them; understanding the arena’s systems reveals new routes and lets you move quickly through areas you have already explored.

Fight and find a way through

Enemies include close-range foes that harass you in waves and deadly turrets that keep you from approaching. You can destroy walls and activate jump pads, moving platforms and other mechanisms to uncover pathways, shortcuts and secrets that may lead to freedom.
