Dune Awakening is a survival game set on the harsh desert world of Arrakis, adapting the world of Frank Herbert's Dune into an open, hostile sandbox. Players must manage water, navigate sandworm territory, and build a foothold amid rival factions.

Combining survival crafting with the political intrigue and desert ecology of its source material, the game emphasizes scavenging, base-building, and careful movement across a planet where every resource is scarce and every mistake can be fatal.
