Dustborn (v1.10)

Dustborn is a single-player action-adventure game set in an alternate-history America where the power of words holds extraordinary influence. Players take on the role of Pax, an exile and con artist hired to transport a mysterious package across the Justice-controlled American Republic, from Pacifica to Nova Scotia. Traveling aboard a robot-driven tour bus, Pax journeys through vivid Neo-Western landscapes, stopping at a dozen unique locations where the story unfolds through rich interactions, missions, and challenges. Along the way, players build and manage a diverse crew of misfits, each with their own backgrounds and abilities, forming a found family that shapes the narrative and gameplay through branching dialogues and meaningful choices. The game blends exploration with strategic combat rooted in language—players harness “Shouts” and “Vox,” special verbal abilities that can be crafted and upgraded to influence conversations, manipulate foes, or navigate tricky situations. From investigating towns and forging relationships to engaging in unexpected encounters like tossing Molotov cocktails or wielding a baseball bat against adversaries, Dustborn offers a dynamic mix of storytelling and action. Its striking graphic-novel-inspired art style brings 2D illustrations to life in a colorful 3D world, creating an immersive experience as you race against relentless pursuers. With its focus on hope, friendship, and the unique power of words, Dustborn invites players on a memorable journey across a fractured yet captivating America.
