What is Duskers?

In this single-player strategy game, you type commands to guide drones through procedurally generated derelict spaceships. You use camera feeds and sensors to avoid creatures, scavenge fuel and upgrades, and find logs that may explain why the universe is deserted. Death costs you everything.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy tense exploration with limited information
  • +you like planning around scarce resources
  • +you prefer directing units with typed commands

Not for you if...

  • −you dislike losing progress when you die
  • −you want a relaxed exploration game
  • −you prefer predictable challenges over random layouts
