Just a brief announcement - We now have an estimated play time for the EA Build (26 - 35 hours for the main storyline content, the spouse storyline content, and obtaining all the available upgrades for the homestead). 26 hours would be for an ultra-optimizing player and 35 hours would be those who like to vibe a little more. Ultra-optimizers who play on Casual Mode may get through everything a little quicker than 26 hours.
Other updates include more visual diversity in textures, a ton more features and quality-of-life updates, and obviously the storyline content. We also surpassed 1000 wishlists at some point in the past! Hooray! This is important because it tells steam that people are anticipating the game and it prioritizes it higher in the algorithm and shows it to more players who might be interested. Thank you for your support and we look forward to finally sharing our vision in the June 23rd release of Veil of Dust: A Homesteading Game! -Elle

Veil of Dust: A Homesteading Game™ is a historically-grounded fantasy homesteading game about finding your way after loss. Accompany the Callahan Siblings, Shane and Áine, as they learn to cope in the wake of the complete upset of their lives - and scramble to resolve the sudden appearance of dangerous, magical beasts.



Farm, Forage, & Hunt to Survive
Living in the desert isn't easy, but the magical abilities that force the protagonists to isolate themselves also helps them make the most of the environment. Farm, forage, and hunt to scrape by in the sparse desert of Eastern Oregon.

Unravel a Mystery
Guide Shane and Áine through the twists and turns of their search for answers about the monster attacks that threaten their fragile livelihood. Where will this undertaking lead these unlikely adventurers?

Forge Relationships
Survival isn't just about finding food and shelter. It's also about making life worth living. The support and attention of loved ones will bolster your spirit and give you strength.

Fight & Prevail
A homesteader isn't usually well-equipped for armed struggle, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your sibling to defend your homestead against magical monsters.

Cook & Craft
Frontier cuisine is more about filling bellies than making an impression - scrape together what you can to conquer scarcity. Overcome challenges with tools and handicrafts that you create.
