Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“By the point when Lost in the Sand enters Early Access it will be in a playable state and this is an excellent opportunity to reach even more players and get them involved in the development process by listening to their feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The rough timeline is 12 months, but it is highly dependent on the amount of feedback we receive from players.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Full version will contain much more features according to feedback from players which is highly welcome at any time. It will also be more polished and optimized for maximum quality of life for our players”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A lot of the core mechanics are already there, including: destruction system, injury reaction system, procedurally generated worlds, oil extraction camps and more.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Gradual increase of the price is planned as more content is being added to the game. This means that Early Access supporters will get a lower price than the customers who buy the game after release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We love to hear what our community has to say. There's a Discord server where anybody can leave feedback, suggestions or ask questions about the game.”

About This Game

A slow-paced shooter with strategy elements set in a fully destructible environment.
Fight with unique weapons in procedurally generated worlds, build and demolish oil extraction camps, manage and upgrade your army in order to conquer the world. The fight for oil has begun!

DESTRUCTION

Lost in the Sand features structures with physics-based destruction that you can use to your tactical advantage. Either you use it to create improvised escape routes, demolish enemy's defensive structures or simply blow up stuff for fun, you are not safe anywhere on the map!

INJURY REACTION

NPCs are active ragdolls, shoot them, explode them or hit them with a car and they will react to physics forces in a realistic manner.

Their health is built on a semi-realistic injury reaction system rather than a traditional health bar. You can never be too sure if enemies are fully eliminated or just knocked out!

NPCs behavior is influenced by a range of factors like:

  • Bleeding (Affects health and consciousness)
  • Consciousness (Affects clumsiness of their actions)
  • Health (Affects consciousness)
  • Limb strength (Makes individual limbs behave clumsier)
  • Morale (Makes them use more offensive or defensive tactics)

OIL EXTRACTION CAMPS

Build oil extraction camps for gathering and defending the main resource in the game, oil.


Fortify them with defensive structures and static weapons so you can defend your oil extraction camps from enemies while demolishing and capturing theirs!


Capture all oil patches belonging to a town in order to gain control of that town. Gain control of all towns and you are victorious!

PROCEDURALLY GENERATED WORLDS

Play on endless amount of worlds, all different from each other, with endless sizes, endless oil and endless fun!

MANAGE ARMIES

Recruit volunteers from controlled towns to help you on your oil conquest. Manage camp garrisons, manage resources, give orders, build and upgrade armies and watch them do the hard work for you!

CRAFTING

Gather, steal or trade in order to get unique resources from the world. Use those resources for customization of your weapons and attachments to make them fit your play style.

VEHICLE UPGRADE

Upgrade your vehicles with armor, weapons or performance upgrades in order to gain an advantage over your opponent.

INTEL

Enemy commander's strategy is random for every playthrough so you must steal secret documents in order to discover his play style as well as his available assets, controlled areas, and secret orders.
