About This Game


Back to Dust is a survival game focused on decision making and inspired by the true stories of refugees.

You and your daughter are in a conflict zone and running low on food, you must travel to the border and try to enter the neighboring country. The path to the border is full of other refugees asking for your help. The more refugees you accept in your party, the tougher will be your journey.

Will your humanity prevail? Or will your self-preservation instinct overcome?


  • Decision Making is Key: Back to Dust is all about decision making. There is no complicated or innovative mechanics. Player must analyze the group situation and select options that best suits their needs.
  • Decisions Drive the Story: More than earning resources or status changing, player’s decisions will change the course of the story, making events happen, revealing new paths or changing the game's ending.
  • Trade Mechanics: Sometimes your extra resources can be useful to someone and vice versa.
  • Changing Economy: Items can be traded one-by-one with other refugees or freely negotiated with travelling merchants.
  • Bargaining System: Characters can even bargain (or beg) if they have the knack for it.
  • Unique Character Habilities: Many characters have unique habilities that can be used to take advantage in many kind of situations.


  • Immersive Storytelling: Truly feel what it is like to walk in the shoes of a family in the midst of a refugee crisis.
  • Multiple Endings: 12+ unique endings based on players choices during their journey.
  • Real World Inspirations: Imagery and story points are inspired by real refugee stories.
