Game Description
From Dust, also known as From Dust: The Breath of Life, is a game that lets you play with nature as if you were its puppet master. You’re tasked with guiding a small tribe through dangerous landscapes by manipulating earth, water, and lava. Think god game with a hands-on twist and puzzles that test your quick thinking. It’s not about flashy battles or epic quests, but how well you can adapt when the environment fights back. Ever wanted to bend rivers to your will or stop a volcanic eruption? This is your chance.
What’s From Dust All About?
You control a mysterious power called Breath, which helps you shape the terrain around a tribe struggling to survive. Each island is a new playground where nature is constantly shifting – rivers change course, volcanoes erupt, and tsunamis threaten to wash everything away.
Need a challenge? You got it. The puzzles aren’t just about moving dirt. You’ll have to think about how lava solidifies, how water erodes land, and even how fire spreads. It’s a constant balance where one wrong move can spell disaster for your tribe. Lesson learned: always keep an eye on the weather (and maybe carry a backup plan).
