SAND is set in an alternate-history, diesel-punk universe where the Austro-Hungarian Empire leads space colonization, humanity travels the stars, and the fallen planet of Sophie lays in ruins after an ecological disaster evaporated the world’s oceans. Now only the bravest and most reckless treasure hunters, working alone or in teams, scavenge and battle across Sophie’s deadly deserts for their fortune.
 

In SAND’s new demo, you’ll operate your own massive walking Trampler mech to explore the open world and take down hostile enemies on your own or with friends. SAND’s emergent combat and gameplay will keep you on your toes, delivering a thrilling experience that’s accessible but challenging and rewarding as you play.
 

Demo Features:

Proudly made by a team of Ukrainian developers as a celebration of Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage and people, SAND will ultimately feature an intense combination of open-world exploration, explosive PvPvE combat, emergent extraction gameplay, and plenty of loot with which to make your fortune – if you can get offworld with it in one piece.
 

Players can wishlist SAND now on Steam with a free demo beginning tomorrow, October 11. For more information, visit the game’s website, and follow along with the latest updates on Twitter and Discord.
