    • Large open game world in an exciting desert setting with an area of over 64 km².
    • The lovingly designed world, far away from civilization, holds many impressive monuments, artifacts, and creatures of the past, as well as modern times.
    • Survival action par excellence! Weather and desert capers as well as terrestrial and extra-terrestrial enemies awaken the pure survival instinct!
    • Gather, build, secure - for protection against heat, cold, and the unknown enemy.
    • Dynamic weather and day/night changes demand good planning, wise action, and a large portion of courage, especially in the desert.
    • A mystical, thrilling story and the solving of numerous puzzles answer many open questions during the exciting journey into the unknown.

Basic requirements of food, water, and temperature with a crafting emphasis & inventory management.

So the entire background of my interaction with Starsand and the development team- I helped organize the Discord/ Discord admin for them for a while, played the demo, and participated in the pre-release game testing.

The last time I played was the release of Early Access! Unfortunately, like so many other games, it's slipped into my backlog while I work on Hashtag. (Insert crying emoji.) I plan on picking it back up and doing a detailed review in the future, so for now, I'll say- a unique setting unique critters, and a beautiful atmosphere. This was so much fun to play in the start, and I can't imagine it's gone anywhere but upwards since release.
Also, you can ride camels!

(The trailer is gorgeous- ditto for the art!)
