A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Sands is a roguelike inspired by Dune, a fan project exploring the deep mysticism, survival, and political struggles of Arrakis.

In Sands you play as a fremen, seeing the story of the first book unfolds while beiing a side looker and pushing the agenda of the fremen through the whole overall mess that is the political chaos of the lanstrad.

Sands is still in development, and feedback is crucial! If you’re interested in testing and shaping the game, join our Discord to discuss mechanics, balance, and the world of Arrakis.

I can’t wait to share more as the game evolves. Stay tuned!

Install instructions

  1. the files are in a Zip format and can be unzipped to play.
  2. There is no need to install anything, the game plays as it is.
  3. The game will save progress when quitting. if you wish to delete your save, for now just remove the save.json file that will be created in the game directory, doing so will make the game start a new session.
  4. If at any point you're not sure how to do something, just use the h key to get the help menu.
  5. If your anti-virus alerts about the file feel free to upload it to virus-total or other service you trust. the binaries are not signed and so might trigger all kind of low end security software.
