PARAFACET / OUR MAIN PROJECT

The Gate
of Sand.

A co-op FPS roguelite. Hold the city, raid the ruins, and graft what you bring home.

The voltaic organ, a living gun, raised in the ruins at sunset — Work-in-progress gameplay from The Gate of Sand. Everything shown may change.

HOLD THE CITY. RAID THE RUINS.

The last city
needs what you bring back.

Something is growing in the wreckage of a dead world, and it’s coming for the last city standing. Squad up, go out into the ruins, and bring back what you need to survive the next wave.

Defend the city

Build the city your way, then fight in first person to hold the layout you built when the hive comes for it.

Raid the ruins

Launch expeditions into a different district every run, with its own danger and reward, for biomass, specimens and loot.

Graft what you take

Turn the creatures’ own biology against them. Every run hands you a new set of weapons, traits and buildings.
