What is Sandwalkers?
Sandwalkers is a single-player, turn-based strategy RPG about leading caravans across a desert divided by the Phithi, a chaotic weather system. You manage supplies, explore, seek allies, and fight monsters and pirates while trying to establish a new tree city. Knowledge from each expedition carries over to the next, even when a caravan fails.
