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.

Memory Wastes
Read full descriptionHide full description
You lost your memory in a world that lost its past. Survive the wastes, scavenge supplies, fight enemies, navigate factions and recover fragments of lost knowledge to piece together a history no faction remembers the same way. Travel between settlements, scavenge food, medicine, weapons and supplies, fight mutants, machines and hostile survivors, and manage the constant dangers of sickness, scarce resources and deadly journeys. Every faction has its own beliefs, interests and version of the past. Build relationships, earn trust, trade, complete quests and decide where your loyalties lie — but do not expect anyone to give you the whole truth. Knowledge is part of survival. Discover records, strange messages and fragments of lost information that reveal pieces of the world before the catastrophe. Different factions remember history differently, and the more you uncover, the more complicated the picture becomes. Build your character, improve skills and equipment, learn how enemies fight, explore dangerous locations and make each journey count. Death ends the current survivor’s run, but not everything you achieved is necessarily lost. Memory Wastes brings the depth and systems of a post-apocalyptic survival RPG to mobile without reducing the experience to a simplified mobile format. Survive the wastes. Recover what was forgotten. Decide what the past means when nobody remembers it the same way.
