DustBorn

The world didn't disappear overnight. It died slowly.

First, people lost faith in their governments. Then came mass unrest, wars, the looting of military installations, and a struggle for the last resources. Cities fell one after another, and humanity lost everything that had once been called civilization.

Nine years have passed.

Most of the Earth's population has perished. The few remaining settlements exist on the brink of extinction, surrounded by wastelands, raiders, and a constant shortage of water, food, and security.

The game tells the story of Morgan, a lonely wanderer who lost his home and family as a child. For years, he wanders the ruined world, searching for a place to call home.

After long journeys, fate brings him to Ordel—one of the last living cities amidst the endless sands.

But the peace here is only an illusion.

In the world of DustBorn, no one knows who to trust.

And sometimes the most dangerous enemy hides among his own.

Morgan

The protagonist of the story.

A wanderer who lost everything as a child. After years of wandering a ruined world, he arrives in Ordel, hoping to finally find a place where he can start a new life.

But the past isn't so easy to leave behind.

Jacob

Leader of the Scavengers.

Despite his easygoing nature and love of jokes, Jacob is one of the few people who continues to believe that the world can still be saved.

He is willing to risk his own life for the people of Ordel and those he cares about.

Mili

Jacob's younger sister.

Fiery-tempered, distrustful, and always ready to pick up a weapon.

She dislikes strangers and prefers to shoot first and ask questions later.

Samon

Bar owner in Ordel.

At first glance, he's an ordinary old man, tired of life, who spends his days behind the bar.

But behind his grumpy personality lies a man who knows far more about what's going on than he lets on.

Moriarty

The mysterious leader of the wasteland's largest raiding organization.

His name is unknown to most people, and rumors about him outnumber the truth.

One thing is certain: as long as he lives, Ordel is in danger.
