Drought

No one settles in the desert. Not one person looks at the endless sands and thinks “Oh wow, that’s a nice place to live!”.  No, most of desert  settlers settle by a river, hoping for a carefree life.

And then rivers dry out leaving nothing but a mirage of what could have been.

The sensible ones move from one good place to the next. But some decide to stay and battle the drought.

Drought is a sandbox farming game about farming wheat in the desert developed during GMTK Game Jam 2026.
