About the game
Inspired by tabletop RPGs and narrative adventure games like Citizen Sleeper, Duskpunk is a game of hope, grit and survival. You are an ex-soldier, mistaken for dead and shipped back to the city of Dredgeport to be processed into fuel. After a narrow escape, you find yourself alone with only two things to your name: your life and your sanity. Keeping both will prove a challenge.
Carefully manage your health, energy and stress levels as you try to make a new start in a world consumed by war. Explore Dredgeport, from the slums to the palaces. Develop skills to distinguish yourself in your chosen field of work. Find friends among the downtrodden. Make lasting choices that will determine the city's fate – and your own.
Features:
Choice-driven gameplay inspired by TTRPGs
A gritty, sprawling Steampunk city to explore
2D oil-painting aesthetic, with gorgeous character and background art.
Fascinating characters with murky motivations
A branching narrative shaped around your decisions
