Into The Sands

Into the Sands is a mystery game set in a harsh desert environment. The denizens of this place have created a small settlement around a singular oasis. They survive by gathering and refining scrap metals and other materials from the surrounding area and repurposing them into useful tools to aid in their efforts.
As a scrapper, you must explore the dunes. Is there more to this place than meets the eye? What potential truths are there to uncover?

Each day you will venture out into the desert to collect scrap, discover new locations and encounter different mysteries. Certain unique discoveries will improve your capabilities or unlock new dialogue options. Use the tools and information provided to you to dive deeper into different areas.
But be wary, time is not always on your side. If you run out of water or don't return by nightfall you may need to be rescued by your fellow townsfolk.

Trade with the desert shopkeeper to get your first tool. Use it to explore and unearth desert objects that you can use to upgrade or purchase even more tools:

Explore a sprawling desert landscape littered with old relics and machinery:

Converse and track clues from the nomads and the desert to understand what has happened.

Turn in scrap you find to get access to more tools and improvements.

Where did they come from? How does the town survive? Ultimately, it will be up to you to figure out where the mystery leads.
