About Starsand
Your day started as planned. Motivated and full of ambition you started the run of your life, in the middle of the desert, surrounded by like-minded people. The months of hard training should finally pay off. Suddenly, you are caught in a monstrous sandstorm and now you find yourself alone in an inhospitable, hot environment. Deserted and merciless, an ocean of sand stretches to the horizon.

You feel the scorching heat on your skin, sand blowing right at your face, far and wide only vast desert … but wait, what is that? Something is moving in the distance. What is happening here?

Your first thoughts scream survival as the bitter realisation that no one is coming and you are alone starts to creep in. But the burning questions in your head are where are you and more importantly, why are there two moons in the night sky?

Features:
Explore an arcane desert – Find shade, find water, find life. Use your energy wisely, avoid too much effort in the heat and keep warm on the coldest nights. You must keep your wits to survive.
Open world gameplay – Starsand is the ultimate desert survival game. Dangers, mysteries, and puzzles await you on your journey to find out what exactly happened, where you are and what connects you to the history of an extinct civilization. Will you manage to survive in the inhospitable environment, uncover the answers and find your way back to your old life?
Hunt. Craft. Build – Hunt for food, craft weapons and build and secure your shelter as the dunes are teeming with scary creatures.
Tame the environment – Find your way in the vast and lonely desert, orient yourself in sandstorms and mark your path. Thirst and heat become an invincible enemy during the day and cold endangers you during the night. Learn to live with adversity, see the beauty that the world holds, and learn from the animals and surrounding nature.
Defend your base – In this desert, you are both the hunter and prey. Insect-like predators come out of their dark nests, always looking for food. Protect yourself with fire, blow up enemies with explosive coconut grenades, secure your base and do whatever it takes to survive.

Starsand will launch as a boxed edition for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles across EU, ANZ, ME and SA territories this summer. For more information, please visit Funbox Media’s Starsand Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 game pages.
