About This Game

Scavenge. Survive. Escape.

From across the galaxy, countless ships have fallen into the sands of a nameless world… a planet reborn each day by storms that swallow all and reveal new wreckage at dawn. Shifting Sands is a sci fi roguelike adventure of salvage, danger, and discovery beneath an unforgiving sun.

The Nexus rises at the heart of the desert… an ancient monument that holds back the storm for a fleeting moment each day. Survivors gather in its shadow to trade, to scheme, and to dream of escape. You are one of them, a scavenger armed with nothing but nerve, skill, and the will to risk everything for a chance at riches, power, or secrets hidden deep beneath the dunes.

Key Features

  • Planet Reset Loop … survive the storm cycle as the desert reshapes itself each day with new wreckage and opportunities

  • Scavenging and Salvage Economy … claim scrap, xenotech, and rare parts to barter or upgrade before the storm erases the land again

  • Factions and Encounters … face raiders, enforcers, cultists, and stranger things that stalk the shifting sands

  • Procedurally Generated Runs … no two expeditions are ever the same, with randomized wrecks, loot, and events

  • Tactical Real Time Combat … battle in isometric pixel art arenas using scavenged gear, companion droids, and desert hazards

  • Upgrade and Progression … forge gear, unlock mods, and build permanent upgrades if you make it back alive

  • Pixel Art Desert World … a vibrant hand crafted wasteland inspired by classic sci fi and post apocalyptic frontiers

The storms are rising… the desert calls… what will you risk to uncover the treasures buried in the shifting sands?
