Your village is dying. Your only hope of saving it is buried in the desert scrapyard, hidden behind mountains of trash // memories. Will you uncover those memories? Or will you blast them to pieces?
Desert Angels is an open-world narrative adventure / third-person shooter(?) / 'walking sim with guns'.
A century of peace in the desert is broken all at once: a stranger falls from the stars, the empire beyond the sands threatens to invade, and the machines keeping the village alive are failing. The scrapyard contains your village's hope, with so much lost technology buried in the sands. Uncover the scrapyard's memories — or blast those memories to pieces — to find it.
A complete playthrough of the game takes approximately 1-3 hours.


Danger looms over the distance, but none of it is immediate; there are no enemies or hazards in the scrapyard, only layers upon layers of trash and the open sands. And guns, which you can use to blow up the trash:

Once upon a time, the desert was ravaged by war, and to this day many of the weapons lying around the scrapyard are still operational.

Almost everything in the game is destructible. Blast new paths, find shortcuts, and discover secrets -- or bury them forever.

There's a history buried within the sands, and memories both precious and painful. Talk to the ghosts haunting the place — or ignore them. Investigate the trash and the stories that they tell — or destroy them.
What gets to be remembered, and what gets to be forgotten? The choices you make and the places you see will shape the narrative.
