Paris-based indie developer ExoDive announced DUSKDOG, a survival exploration game set on a dim, cold surface lit by a broken artificial sun. Players control Rika, who explores the silent ruined world, manages body temperature, and restarts antennas to expand the light range. A demo is planned soon.
ExoDive, an indie studio based in Paris, announced DUSKDOG on June 11. The game is set in a world where humanity has lived underground for generations. The artificial sun that once lit the surface is broken, casting only a faint twilight and leaving the surface cold and silent. Players take the role of Rika, a volunteer who explores the surface to unravel the mysteries of the artificial sun. A body temperature management system is visible in the released footage; if the temperature drops too low, Rika faints and loses all belongings. Players can restart broken antennas to expand the artificial sun's light range, gradually opening new areas. Rika's lover, Cisne, remains alive underground and exchanges messages with her, which may ease the loneliness of the journey. ExoDive plans to release a demo as soon as possible.
