UNDER the SAND - a road trip simulator
A road trip through a world that turned to desert. You drive an old pickup, keep it fed with gasoline, oil and water, loot roadside ruins for parts and sell your junk at truck stops. No enemies, no timers, just you, the road and whatever cassette you found last. A calm post-apocalypse made for unwinding.

The Long Drive
A road trip through an almost infinite random desert, in a car you can lean out of, adjust the mirrors on or abandon at full speed. Drive, explore, keep the tank filled, put on the radio. It is slow, strange and often funny, and the emptiness is the point.
