Mechanics:
Farm, Forage, & Hunt to Survive
Living in the desert isn't easy, but the magical abilities that force the protagonists to isolate themselves also helps them make the most of the environment. Farm, forage, and hunt to scrape by in the sparse desert of Eastern Oregon.
Unravel a Mystery
Guide Shane and Áine through the twists and turns of their search for answers about the monster attacks that threaten their fragile livelihood. Where will this undertaking lead these unlikely adventurers?
Forge Relationships
Survival isn't just about finding food and shelter. It's also about making life worth living. The support and attention of loved ones, romantic and otherwise, will bolster your spirit and give you strength.
Fight & Prevail
A homesteader isn't usually well-equipped for armed struggle, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your sibling to defend your homestead against magical monsters.
Cook & Craft
Frontier cuisine is more about filling bellies than making an impression - scrape together what you can to conquer scarcity. Overcome challenges with tools and handicrafts that you create.
Note: The final version of Veil of Dust will include potentially sensitive content - Alcohol use; depictions of mental illness; dialogue about death and mourning; strong language; suggestive themes.
