DustFall is a narrative RPG set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. You were born underground, in Refuge 19, knowing nothing of the world outside. When the water starts running out, you must step into a desert of ruins, caravans and survivors who learned to live without hope. EVERY STEP COUNTS, LITERALLY DustFall moves forward with your real steps. The pedometer turns your everyday walks into miles across the wasteland: the commute, a stroll, the way home… it all pushes the story forward. Walk in real life, advance in the game. CHOICES THAT WEIGH There are no easy answers. Do you help the gravedigger who gives water away, or find out where he gets it? Do you heal the wounded dog and gain a companion, or travel on alone and light? Your choices change the world, your reputation among the factions and the ending of your journey. A WORLD WITH ITS OWN VOICE Talk to everyone: every character holds a piece of the wasteland. The Changed, the caravan traders, the scrap cults, the pirate radio in the background. A world painted in oils to lose yourself in. HARDCORE MODE Think you're tough? Turn on permadeath: if you fall, your save is wiped. • Narrative RPG with real choices and consequences • Over 300 scenes and a dozen endings • Companions, factions, dark humour and tenderness • Offline, no accounts, no purchases • Free, with ads; rewarded ads are always optional • In 10 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Russian, Italian, Turkish, Polish and Indonesian Leave the refuge. The wastes are waiting.
