The Road of Dust and Sorrow

The Road of Dust and Sorrow — is a narrative-driven survival horror game that focuses on the journey through a ruined world and the constant pressure of the environment. You guide Catherine and her daughter through empty streets, abandoned buildings, and dangerous areas where any stop could end badly. There's no sense of safety here — even quiet places arouse suspicion.

Survival requires caution

Movement is based on attention and route selection. You need to check rooms, search for supplies, and decide whether to risk gaining additional resources. Encounters with enemies aren't always beneficial, so sometimes it's better to avoid a threat or hide. Limited resources force you to think ahead, because a mistake can ruin your chances of getting further.

The story hinges on the relationships between the characters and the situations they find themselves in. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that danger comes not only from creatures but also from people. Events are conveyed through the environment and interactions, making the world feel simultaneously cohesive and unwelcoming.
