In this single-player, story-driven action-adventure game, players will embark on a mysterious road trip to transport a crucial package from Pacifica to Nova Scotia.

Along the way, they’ll make pit stops to recruit new members, build relationships, tackle unexpected assignments, and fend off relentless pursuers.
Dustborn delves into the power of words through its main character, Pax, an Anomal with the unique ability to weaponize language. By crafting new words, Pax can defuse tense situations, neutralize threats, and influence her surroundings, including her diverse and often clashing crew. Managing and building relationships with this group of misfits, each boasting their own compelling backstories, will require Pax to skillfully leverage her verbal abilities.
