About The Road of Dust and Sorrow

The failed experiment twisted people into feral creatures called Dusters, driven by primal hunger. Katherine and her daughter Ava roam the remnants of civilization, searching for a safer future. Their journey draws the attention of a Preacher and his mysterious cult, driven by an ancient hunger, they see humans as fertile soil.
A FALLEN WORLD
Streets lie abandoned, buildings rot from the inside out, and vegetation is growing back at an accelerated rate. Traces of the past linger, in homes – barricaded for protection, offices with supplies scattered, and stores picked clean of supplies. Humanity is shaped by desperation, how far will you go to survive?
FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE
Claw your way through decaying streets, bloodthirsty monsters, locked rooms, and forgotten corridors. Solve environmental puzzles, uncover hidden paths, and survive encounters with feral Dusters for a chance to reach safety. Proceed with caution every door can lead to salvation… or devastation.
PROTECT WHAT MATTERS MOST
Protect Ava at all cost. The world can die but she must live. Every step draws you deeper into a place that wants you gone. No one will save you, but you can fight. You can run. You can try to get her to safety.
