As revealed at the Golden Joysticks, The Road of Dust and Sorrow is bringing its tough choices and post apocalyptic parenting to console, with PS5, Nintendo Switch and Xbox releases joining PC.
The Road of Dust and Sorrow is a bittersweet and deeply emotional story-driven pixel art horror game, channeling a cozy horror vibe as a mother and daughter navigate a post-apocalyptic world. It's a mix of dystopian survival, exploration and puzzles, as Katherine and her daughter Ava fight to survive in a world filled with feral creatures called Dusters - twisted people created by a failed experiment that was meant to end famine.
This is a game driven by one question: how far will you go to survive? The answer to that will be tested as you explore abandoned, rotting buildings overrun by strange vegetation, while encountering survivors shaped by desperation. Supplies are low, and what little is left is scattered through the desolation.
You'll have to explore the decaying streets in search of locked rooms and hidden paths to uncover what you need. All while dealing with the monstrous Dusters and a mysterious cult, lead by a sinister Preacher who takes a worrying interest in you.
Whatever happens, and whatever you end up doing, nothing is more important than protecting your daughter and getting her to safety. Every decision you make, and the consequences of all your choices, come back to her. Check out the game on Steam and follow The Road of Dust and Sorrow on Bluesky for more,
