Dust to the End

Dust to the End is set decades after a global nuclear conflict destroyed human civilization. Survivors spent nearly a century in underground shelters before radiation levels fell enough for people to return to the surface and rebuild. Scarce, scattered resources soon brought settlements, warlords and roaming bands into conflict over land, food and water.

You grew up in Shelter 507, where life was safe but dull and stagnant. When its leaders opened the doors, members of a human-trafficking organization called the Black Death killed your family and the people you knew. You escaped, survived and recovered in a nearby settlement; now you must earn your place in the wasteland. Dialogue choices affect the story’s direction and its multiple endings.

Lead a caravan

You guide a merchant caravan across a vast, semi-open wasteland where monsters, beasts, bandits and other caravans roam. Buy and sell more than 100 kinds of goods in a dynamic economy, where supply and demand affect prices. More than 50 cities and towns offer different sizes, facilities and trade goods, while the harsh environment presents hazards and challenges for your caravan.

Fight and hire

Combat uses turn-based battles, with nine weapon categories and dozens of special skills. You can hire mercenaries, each with a personality that shapes their mood and the team’s status, affecting combat effectiveness and attitude.

Develop your settlement

You can explore bunkers, establish and operate underground bases, and develop factories and other facilities. Buy or hire civilian assistants to increase your settlement’s economic output. You can also build and defend your settlement, developing industries from the remains of the old world.

Wasteland design

The game features a wasteland-style design and more than 40 hand-drawn character illustrations.
