Sandwalkers

Sandwalkers is about guiding caravans of Mka adventurers through the Phithi, a zone of meteorological chaos that isolates the Uwando tribes and makes life outside refuges almost impossible. Every decade, a caravan sets out to establish diplomatic and trade relations, explore and reclaim lands overrun by monsters and pirates, and plant a tree city to shelter the Mka and their allies. Whatever the outcome, the caravan sends the memories it has gathered back to the capital in crystospheres carried by traveling beetles.

The caravan's journey

You guide a caravan through varied landscapes, fighting pirates, wizards and monsters while facing acid rain, storms and heat waves. You can rescue refugees and seek allies, as well as investigate the past for the causes of the Phithi. The caravaneers' hope and faith in their mission protect them from certain death in the hostile desert.

Characters and choices

Each character has different powers. You can explore lost ruins as an archaeologist or track massive creatures as a hunter. Your choices affect future expeditions, and each new caravan can build on the knowledge passed down by the one before it.

Weather and the Phithi

Weather affects the caravanners' movements and the outcomes of confrontations. The caravans' mission is to repair the broken climate and end centuries of wandering.
