Starsand

Starsand is a survival game about a marathon runner stranded alone in a vast desert after a sandstorm. With two moons in the night sky and signs of an extinct civilization, you must survive, uncover where you are and what happened, and find a way back to your old life.

Survive the desert

The open world covers more than 64 km² and stretches far beyond civilization. You hunt for food, gather resources, make weapons and build and secure a shelter against heat, cold and an unknown enemy. Find shade, water and life, manage your energy in the heat, and keep warm on the coldest nights. Thirst and heat threaten you by day, while the cold puts you at risk after dark.

Dynamic weather and day-and-night changes shape your plans. Sandstorms make it difficult to find your way, so mark your path as you travel. The desert holds monuments, artifacts and creatures from both the past and modern times, as well as terrestrial and extraterrestrial enemies.

Face the creatures

Insect-like predators emerge from dark nests to hunt for food, and the dunes around your shelter are full of dangerous creatures. Use fire for protection, throw explosive coconut grenades at enemies and defend your base. In the desert, you are both hunter and prey, and survival means adapting to the animals, the weather and the land.

Uncover the mystery

A story and puzzles lead you through the unknown as you search for answers about your location, the two moons and the history of an extinct civilization. The journey also raises the question of how you are connected to that history.
