A downloadable survival shooter for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

About the Game

Dust & Decay is an intense, atmospheric survival shooter that plunges players into an oppressive, ever-shifting desert wasteland. Merging tactical gunplay with psychological horror, you must navigate a desolate environment where resource scarcity, blinding heat, and terrifying subterranean entities threaten your every move.

In this wasteland, gunfire is a beacon for predators, and your water supply is just as critical as your ammunition. Every expedition across the shifting dunes is a high-stakes gamble for survival.

Key Features

  • Survival Mechanics: Manage your hydration and stamina under a scorching sun. Dehydration triggers distorting heat mirages and destabilizes your aim, turning the environment itself into a constant threat.
  • Tactical Gunplay: Scavenge for scarce ammunition and maintain your gear. The abrasive desert sand can cause your weapons to jam, requiring regular maintenance using field kits.
  • Dynamic Sandstorms: The landscape is alive. Sudden sandstorms dynamically reshape the dunes, buried military outposts, and ancient ruins, altering your path and uncovering new dangers or valuable loot.
  • Stealth & Sound Design: Sound travels far across the quiet desert plains. Gunshots will alert nearby entities, forcing you to utilize suppressed weapons, stealth, or the environment to neutralize threats cleanly.
  • High-Stakes Extraction: Secure vital data coordinates, salvage rare equipment, and reach the extraction point before a massive, lethal storm completely swallows the region. Use your spoils between runs to upgrade your gear and survival apparel.
