What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We're releasing in Early Access to gather feedback on the game's core mechanics: exploration, sand-management , and the dynamic temple system and to refine the co-op experience together with players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Temple of Sandur to remain in Early Access for 12 months or more”

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

“The full version of Temple of Sandur is planned to expand on every part of the current experience from story depth and puzzle variety to multiplayer features and environmental storytelling.

We aim to introduce additional temples with new sand-based mechanics, more intricate cooperative puzzles, expanded lore, and improved visuals and audio atmosphere.

We’re also exploring accessibility options, controller support, and richer narrative branching as development continues.

Our goal is to evolve Temple of Sandur into a complete, immersive adventure that rewards both solo explorers and cooperative teams.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay loop; exploring mysterious ruins, solving sand-powered puzzles, and uncovering the secrets of the ancient civilization of Sandur.

It already features full single-player functionality, partial multiplayer support, and a playable introduction area that showcases the game’s art direction, environmental storytelling, and key mechanics.

While the core systems are functional, the content is still being expanded, and players may encounter some visual or gameplay rough edges as we continue development.”

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

“We plan to start with a lower price during Early Access and gradually increase it as new content, temples, and features are added.

Players who join early will get access to all upcoming updates without any additional cost.”

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

“We’re building Temple of Sandur together with the community. Join us on Discord or Steam to share ideas, test builds, and shape the puzzles, co-op, and story as the game grows.”

About This Game

Temple of Sandur is a co-op puzzle adventure set in a lost desert temple where sand itself bends time. Use a mystical hourglass to reshape the world, solve ancient puzzles, and escape the creatures that awaken beneath the dunes.

Play solo or with friends—the temple adapts to both. While every puzzle is built for teamwork, brave explorers can still take on the challenge alone.

Use the power of sand to turn back time, rebuild what’s been lost, and uncover paths that were once buried. Collapsed bridges rise again, walls crumble in reverse, and the temple’s structure shifts in your favor if you know how to control it.

Every puzzle can be solved on your own, but playing together adds new dynamics and unexpected moments of teamwork. Share discoveries, coordinate your actions, or simply experience the temple side by side. Whether solo or co-op, every run through the temple feels different.

The deeper you go, the more it reacts. Footsteps echo, sand stirs, and something starts to move in the dark. Stay quiet, keep your light low, and remember that the temple never forgets those who disturb its peace.
