You are a drone operator, surrounded by old gritty tech that acts as your only eyes and ears to the outside world. What you hear comes through a remote microphone. What you see is how each drone sees the world. Motion sensors tell you something's out there, but not what. And when you issue commands, you do it through a command line interface.
You have to earn everything in Duskers, scavenging drone upgrades, drones, and even ship upgrades. But dangerous creatures lurk in these derelict ships, and weapons are rare, so you may need to think of a clever way to explore a military outpost using only a motion sensor and a lure.
But even if you find a way, the sensor that you rely on may break down, or you may run out of lures, even your drone's camera feed can start to fail. A favorite strategy can't be exploited for long, so you'll have to continually adapt.
Duskers is set in a procedurally generated Universe, and when you die you lose everything. You not only need to worry about what hazards lay waiting for you in the derelicts, but also running out of fuel, or parts to modify your drones and ship.
You are alone, isolated in the dark reaches of space. Only by sifting through what ship logs remain un-corrupted can you piece together what happened.
Features
- Use a Command Line Interface to control drones & ship systems
- Explore procedurally generated derelict ships and universe
- Upgrade and modify drones with the salvage you find
- Discover ship logs and piece together what happened

Hmm... game taste hard; crunchy... it okay. 6/10
Very cool.
I started off in drone view, I was a peon utilizing the arrow keys and only the most basic of commands. Then one day, I discovered the alias command. I became a god amongst drones. I am now a power user, with the fastest keystrokes in the universe.
In all seriousness, good game. Don't read any of the guides until you have to restart a couple runs. Half the fun is discovering new upgrades/enemies/ships... The story is a SLOW burn. If you're here for a narrative experience (or just an achievement hunter), I'd say you're in for at least 30 hours. The objective logs are long in coming.
game too scary, i did a poo poo in my pantsu
Really good and needs more attention. If you like scary/suspenseful games and coding, this one is for you.
THIS GAME ROCKS
I assume if you are even looking into a game like this that you are the kind of gamer who is all about the gameplay, and this game will deliver an experience like you never had before, how fitting that at the time of writing everyone is playing horror games around haloween, because this game will give you some crazy scares, and make you so sad when you lose your favorite drone, especially if you lose it to a stupid mistake like leaving him in a room with a turret and then turning on the defense protocol for the ship, I mean, only a complete plonker would do something like that ...
It does not have much in the way of sounds, no music, just really functioning sounds as needed, so I would suggest trying this with the OST for mechanicus in the background, I dare you to find a better soundtrack to go along with this.
Awesome game game for the kind of nerd who can appreciate such games, I am definitely one of them.
Cool concept, but I can't save and quit mid-mission which is insultingly impractical especially when you're evidently supposed to win by dying and starting over repeatedly. Sometimes I get tired of that and want to stop mid-mission, among many other reasons I'd want to stop mid-mission, but you can't. Also the text sometimes gets cropped, and there's a disappointing lack of programmability. This game is more true rogue/nethack than anything else in that you learn by dying and only retain your knowledge, and you will do that a lot to learn even the basics or you go read the wiki.
update: hoping setting the "UI scaling" to not be the default of 720p will help with cropping text, and Enemy Types Reset to reset will make it so i don't have end-game enemies at the start of every reset, Why would "don't reset" be a default?! I don't get to keep my drones or equipment, and I certainly don't know what the hell I'm doing.
update 2: still trying. It's better with the changed settings i mentioned, but new frustrations crop up: dooming a run because it doesn't mention in the manual that broken equipment cannot be repaired, and no way to drive a drone by hand without moving your hand from the home keys. The game should come with a demo copy of voice attack so i can open and close doors with my voice and drive at the same time.
update 3: I bought the upgrade for teleport which lets me teleport things. I did help teleport to see how to use it. See manual, it says. I check the manual, and nothing about how to teleport objects like this stun mine into the room that I want to check for an enemy. So I try something: I leave the mine alone in r1, move to r2, and type "teleport r1 r4" hoping it'll teleport what's in r1 to r4. NOPE. IT TELEPORTED MY DRONE IN R2 TO R4 AND THEN THEY GOT EATEN. WHY DIDN'T IT AT LEAST TELEPORT TO R1??! Ridiculous. Also ridiculous is that if you give a command to move to a room and the door is shut, the drone just sits there instead of moving toward the damn door. Swapping between terminal and the arrow keys is not fun, i don't want to do it. The drones should be marginally less dumb. They should make space for each other, they should move toward closed doors or at least have a command I can input to make them do those things. I think I'm done.
Absolutely engrossing but deeply punishing.
The biggest issue here is that the game is so randomized. There aren't exactly a big variety of methods to play this game, particularly in the early game. Which is fine., you're meant to be scrappy and inventive with random scenarios, I get that. The issue is that your random augments can make or break a run at level 1. You entered a ship with 1 scrap and no fuel, with monsters in every room, and you didn't have the Interface or Motion command? Sucks to suck. It's like trying to join the baseball team, but the price of entry is you have to get whacked on the side of the head without a helmet.
However, when the RNG stars align, and you get a good starting build with a solid initial exploration, this game really shines. This is like a slow-paced strategy that has minor moments of concern and anxiety, which is right up my alley. Any situation could be the most dangerous you've ever seen, or be very easy to handle. The fact that you never know what's next is the spice to this dish, and it's very spicy.
It really just comes down to how much you can tolerate failure. Because you're going to fail A LOT. Over and over, and it will be stupider and harsher every time you make the next mistake. If you're the type of person to lose self-confidence and beat yourself up over minor mistakes that ruin entire runs, this might not be for you. However, if the weird, post-apocalyptic sci-fi vibes and somehow riveting command-line gameplay is up your alley, it might be worth it. If only it weren't so random.
boring asf
Great game that lets you immerse yourself in a remote location. Good game.
I don't really know what to say, it's a great game. Very different from a lot of other things out there, but the atmosphere and story telling is fantastic somehow with the retro DOS style graphics it is able to pull you in.
it's really good for like 20 minuets and then it gets old
good
Creative and unique drone command game
Fun, and spooky. A simple, but enjoyable game. Can be challenging to get the hang of.
very scrumptious game more people should play it or i might lose control
Love
Tons of replay value and a good learning curve that's punishing enough to make you want to learn without being impossible. Good for the price!
Picked this one up after watching a mandalore review of it and very glad i did. Interestingly enough the visuals in my opinion lend to the immersion. The relatively simplistic hud and art style make you feel like you're just some techy, out of their depth and exploring cold and unwelcoming derelicts. You aren't some space cowboy shooting up aliens, you are completely alone in the universe; with no one except your drones and horrifying monsters that you never even really see to keep you company.
The gameplay especially adds to the tension and atmosphere. The commands and abilities at your disposal, while somewhat simple and easy to get on their own; they need to be put together in a meticulous and well thought out manner. If you don't have a game plan and commands at the ready when opening an unknown room, your drones are destined for the scrap yard.
If you're looking for a strategic game where immediate risks are overall minimal but still has an oppressive atmosphere and consequences for your screw ups; this is the game for you.
Great game. I'm terrible at it but it's still fun.
.
This is really good.
This is the scariest video game ever made. It is also perfect. Go play it right now.
Noodle reminded me to review this.
Amazing game. Played on another platform for a while until moving here. Decent amount of replay-ability, but it can get stale near the end of a run if you have a good load out, It's pretty brutal, and the horror elements are so much better than a simple jumpscare. The horror here is a deep form of inescapable dread.
Try not to get attached to your drones, and have fun!
this is a phenomenal game. the gameplay, the art style, the atmosphere, all of it is so well put together, and i loved playing it.
but this game has like. 30 minutes of content. after you explore for a little while, you've encountered all the enemies and all the ships, and there's not a whole lot to do except what you just did again. this game is great, but $20 is a bit of a hefty price tag for a game with this little content. I really hope the dev comes back one day and expands on this, there's so much potential here.
