—Visceral twin-stick shooter where desert gods sabotage your run with no-shots, sandstorms, and cursed upgrades while you evolve Zyrd's weapons to save the Sacred Stone.
The Zyrdain Sands
SteamWelcome to Zyrdain Sands, a land dominated by demon gods and
warped by the Sacred Stone.

Play as Zeed, a fallen guardian, crossing the desert to protect this
unstable relic.

The gameplay is the newest thing here: the Gods are constantly
messing with the game—shutting down your shots, mirroring your
controls, and throwing even more unfair surprises at you.

It’s visceral, with a distinct art style: gothic gore pixel art.

Even so, the desert can fight on your side, helping you save the
people of Sand Land.

Slay demons from an exclusive, one-of-a-kind perspective.

Step into a unique twin-stick shooter experience.

The Sand Lands people need you.
