Aeon of Sands

About the game

Aeon of Sands – The Trail is a roleplaying game set in a post-apocalyptic desert world. It combines real-time exploration gameplay with classic gamebooks where you create your very own non-linear story adventure.

The game follows the misadventures of a likeable slacker, who is suddenly thrown out of his cozy home into a terrible, infinite desert that seems to hate him.

Accompany the vain, nap-loving clerk Setrani through his first major adventure.

Guide him on his travels through a dangerous land, ravaged by the weather and by tribal conflicts.
Struggle with him as the desert, wickedly, sets trap after trap on his path.


Get ready for a world full of events, puzzles, combat and secrets that want to be explored!


It’s basically Choose-Your-Own-Adventure featuring Dungeon Crawling!
