UNDER the SAND Build 17372109

UNDER the SAND transports you to an alternative 1980s, where global warming has transformed the entire world into a vast, endless desert and civilization’s remnants are slowly swallowed by shifting sands. Driven by the final request of your late father, you take your old pickup truck on a long, challenging journey across a post-apocalyptic landscape. Every deserted mile you cover reveals both the beauty and the brutality of a world undone by nature.

One of the game’s most appealing features is its infinitely generated paths. Over 200 kilometers of unique road sections—ranging from smooth asphalt to rough off-road tracks—await your exploration. Along the way, you’ll encounter more than 20 distinct points of interest, navigate forks and crossroads that let you choose your own direction, and even have the chance to stop at roadside stores to sell your collected junk. The question remains: how far can you drive before the harsh desert claims you?

The game also emphasizes the detailed assembly, maintenance, and tuning of a diverse fleet of vehicles. As you travel, you’ll find cars of various classes that you can extensively customize. Nearly every part of your vehicle is up for modification—wheels, doors, the engine, headlights, and more. You’ll need to manage liquid resources carefully, as a lack of gasoline or water in the radiator can lead to breakdowns. With advanced vehicle physics and varying tire behavior on different surfaces, collisions become a tactical risk you must navigate through skillful driving and strategic upgrades.

In addition to customizing your ride, you can also create your own character from scratch. With options to adjust everything from hair to eyebrows and to choose from several classes—from a rugged wanderer to a rebellious punk—each persona brings its own set of traits to your survival tactics. The game lets you fully tailor your experience by adjusting the levels of damage, thirst, hunger, and fatigue for your character, as well as the effects of vehicle damage and fluid consumption. These customizable elements ensure that every journey is truly your own.

Complemented by vibrant, stylized low-poly graphics that strike a balance between cartoonish charm and semi-realism, UNDER the SAND is a game about exploration and the open road. It offers a rich auditory experience with in-car cassette tapes featuring music genres ranging from calm lo-fi to hard rock, adding to the immersive driving experience. And amidst the desolation, remember—there’s a cat waiting at home for a bit of care and affection. This is a game that celebrates the thrill of travel, the joy of driving, and the endless possibilities that lie beyond every dusty horizon.
