What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe in developing Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel alongside the community. Early Access gives us the opportunity to gather valuable player feedback, refine gameplay mechanics, and expand content based on what resonates most with players. Our goal is to create an engaging and polished experience, and your input will help shape aspects such as additional heroes/classes, story elements, environments, balance adjustments, and potential multiplayer features. By joining us early, you'll be part of the journey as we work toward bringing this action-packed, co-op adventure to its full potential. We hope that player feedback will make the game even more engaging and fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our goal is to release the game in phases, starting with Act 1. We aim to have this milestone ready sometime in 2025, with plans for open testing potentially between June and September. This phase is focused on establishing the core technology, gameplay systems, and a significant portion of the story. While development is ongoing, we plan to provide regular updates and expand content as progress continues.

”

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

“Our vision for the full version of the game is to expand upon the Early Access foundation with additional content and features. While development will evolve based on player feedback, here are some of the ideas we hope to implement:

4 to 6 playable classes, each with unique playstyles and abilities
All 4 acts fully playable, completing the epic campaign
Expanded skills, gear, and side quests for all acts and characters
Online multiplayer to join forces with friends worldwide
Even more content based on community feedback and player suggestions

Your input during Early Access will be key in shaping the final experience!"”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game includes:

Act 1 is playable but still in active development
Two classes are available, both in active development
Single-player mode is fully playable
Local co-op for up to 4 players using gamepads

”

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

“During Early Access, the game will be available at a lower price. This price will remain unchanged throughout the Early Access period, even as new content is introduced. Once development is complete, we plan to increase the price to reflect the final version of the game.”

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

“As mentioned, open testing is planned as an important part of the early development phases. Our goal is to refine classes and gameplay by iterating on player feedback. We actively engage with our community through Discord, user feedback cycles, and other channels to make the most of early player insights!"”

About This Game

Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel

Venture beneath the burning sands. Face an ancient evil. Survive... or be consumed.

Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel is a single-player and co-op action RPG set against the backdrop of World War II and the supernatural legends of ancient Egypt. Play solo or team up with friends in local co-op, with future plans for online multiplayer support. Battle through intense combat, deadly traps, and supernatural hordes as you unravel a dark tale of ancient curses, lost treasures, and personal redemption.

Heroes Rise. Darkness Falls.

Take up arms as one of two available heroes, with two more in active development during Early Access:

The Soldier – A gruff American WWII veteran, skilled in firearms and explosives. His loyalty to his fallen comrades drives him into a fight far beyond the battlefield he knows.
The Adventurer – A tough-as-nails treasure hunter with Nigerian roots. Sharp with a pistol and sharper with her wit, she’s in it for the gold—but destiny has other plans.
Two More Heroes Coming Soon – Stay tuned as Early Access evolves with new heroes, expanded skill trees, and stories that deepen the fight against the Heretic King.
