Early Access Release Date!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1639080/Sandwalkers/ To keep you waiting, here's our latest devlog about our work on management and progression mechanics in Sandwalkers. Enjoy!
For this devlog, we're diving into the management and progression mechanics that youll encounter as you lead your caravan through the Phithi in Sandwalkers. We're going to give you a closer look at what will keep your caravans moving and evolving, despite the challenges thrown its way.
Managing a caravan in Sandwalkers is a multi-faceted endeavor. Each caravan must carefully manage its Hope, Supplies and caravaneers Health points, while also considering the weight of items they carry.
Your caravan will be able to find a multitude of useful items like equipment, fetishes and consumables while exploring the map, getting into combat as well as completing quests. These items can dramatically impact the capabilities of your caravan.
Equipments bolster your stats, fetishes unlock new attacks, and consumables can be crucial in an emergency. Experience points are pooled together, allowing you to strategically choose which caravan members to level up, enhancing their skills and stats significantly. Each level-up not only boosts stats but also presents a crucial upgrade choicewill you enhance exploration abilities or combat skills?
By strategically assigning specific items and upgrades to certain characters, you can forge powerful synergies that significantly enhance your caravans survival and efficiency. These choices play a critical role in maximizing your caravans potential and navigating the dangers of the Phithi. As your caravan ventures through the lands, its actions unlock Memories, crucial to Sandwalkers' roguelite mechanics as they are shared across all runs.
These Memories not only accumulate Memory Points, used for permanent upgrades in the Crystal Library but also tie into deeper narrative elements, like the discovery of a mysterious bas-relief by the 13th Caravan.
By earning the trust of various factions and collecting fragments of the low relief, your caravan might just piece together the history and perhaps, find a way to resolve the meteorological chaos. The Crystal Libraryhouses different upgrade slots, each corresponding to a vital aspect of caravan survivalbe it maximizing supplies, enhancing damage dealt, and more. These upgrades are tiered, and unlocking higher levels may require bas-relief fragments, adding another layer to the strategic management of your resources.
Each decision in Sandwalkers is impactful, shaping not only your current journey but also future expeditions. We hope you enjoyed this devlog and that you are excited for the early access release! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1639080/Sandwalkers/

"Every decade, the Mka tribe sends caravans of adventurers into the Phithi, the meteorological chaos that keeps the Uwando tribes isolated from each other and makes life outside the refuges almost impossible.
Their mission: to establish diplomatic and trade relations, to explore and reclaim the lands left to the mercy of monsters and pirates, and, most importantly, to plant a new tree city that can become a refuge for the Mka and their allies. Regardless of the success or failure of their mission, the caravans must send the memories they have gained back to the capital, using the crystospheres carried by traveling beetles.
At the start of your run, recruit four characters to lead the caravan and achieve your goals in an ever-changing landscape. Each character has a different job and a unique skill that significantly impact gameplay. It's up to you to explore lost ruins as an archaeologist or to track down massive creatures as a hunter.
![]()
While managing your food supplies, explore the different regions and benefit from the various biomes by gathering unique resources. Visit cities, establish diplomatic relations with other tribes, and make both short-term and long-term decisions.
![]()
Fight and survive through acid rain, sandstorms, or heatwaves. The weather influences character movement and combat difficulty.

Expand the number of shelters by planting new tree cities, pass on your knowledge to a new caravan through memories stored in the crystal library, and put an end to the meteorological chaos. Don't lose sight of your main goal: reviving the Mother Tree, Umama.
