Description
Your day started as planned. Motivated and full of ambition you started the marathon of your life in the middle of the desert. The months of hard training should finally bear fruit. Suddenly, you were 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 far distance. What happened?
Your first thought: Survival.
Your second thought: Rescue will surely come.
The bitter realization: No one will come, you are completely on your own.
The big question: Where are you and why are there two moons in the night sky?
Find shade, find water, find life. Use your energy wisely, avoid too much effort in the heat, keep warm in the coldest nights. You must keep your wits to survive.
Starsand is THE desert survival game. Dangers, mysteries, and puzzles await you! 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, find answers and find your way back to your old life?
Hunt for food, make weapons, build a shelter. Secure your shelter - the dunes are teeming with scary creatures.
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 - cold endangers you during the night. Learn to live with adversity, see the beauty that the world holds, and learn from the animals and nature!
In this desert you are both a 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.
We, Tunnel Vision Studio, are a small creative team ready to conquer the world with RAM sticks, dressed in GPU-coated armor and wearing a VR visor as a helmet. We are a handful of brave geeks based in Rome, not ready to give in to the temptations of countries with fiber broadband and unhealthy food. We make a living doing what we love: everything related to virtual reality and video games.

The game mechanics are very uneasy to deal with, you get hit with a locked tutorial at the start, so if you just wanted to start again you would have to go through the tutorial first, the engine is very strange to begin with as well just not my cup of tea, I was hoping that the game would play a lot like the Movie Dune and have sort of the same mechanics but apparently the story revolves around you getting lost at Sand while doing a marathon???
very clueless game it seems.
very clueless game it seems.
- Sand wormy
- super story driven
- no sense of freedom
- lack of a cool story

Seems to be built decently but not my type of game. The survival games without options to make food not needed just aren't for me and I find less fun. Good thing i got it cheap on this site or I would regret the purchase.
- Crafting is easy
- Have to eat and drink water to survive, didn't see a mode to turn that off

The game takes place in a sci-fi universe where the player is in charge of managing a space station. The goal is to build, expand, and defend the station against enemy attacks while also managing resources and conducting research to unlock new technologies.
Players start by constructing the basic components of the station, such as power generators, resource extractors, and defensive structures. They must also recruit crew members and assign them to various tasks, such as operating machinery or defending the station against threats.
One unique feature of Starsand is the ability to design custom ships and use them in battles against enemy fleets. The game also offers a sandbox mode where players can experiment with different strategies and technologies without the pressure of enemy attacks.
Overall, Starsand has received positive reviews for its engaging gameplay, challenging difficulty, and deep strategy mechanics. However, some players have noted that the game can become repetitive after extended playtime, and the UI could use some improvement.

Extremely solid discount as always from instant gaming, key delivery was extremely fast and immediately activatable, the game has aged since it's launch in 2022 but still holds a very solid and enjoyable experience but most importantly is very replayable.
- Great Discount
- Replayability
