The Jam version is currently one and half hours to two hours long in playtime.
You've joined a group of explorers drilling their way down into the earth below when suddenly, their machines begin to fall through the air, eventually crash landing into a mysterious underground desert!
Separated from your crew, you begin to discover the elusive secrets and frightening origins behind the world lost beneath the sand...
Create paths, discover secrets, and capture new forms of Pokémon that only exist in the ancient world of sand!

Known Issues
Major:
- Progression and enjoyment is currently very up to player taste. Some people do very fine in completing the game and some get stuck very easily. We've taken feedback and will try to implement features that will compliment and guide all types of players, old and new. If you're struggling, it's not your fault.
- Some key features are missing due to the time crunch, but the game is still very playable.
Minor:
- Currently, some moves have the text description of "Do not use this move etcetc". Ignore that, as most moves work fine. The text has been copied from Generation 8, but functionally the moves work. We will manually rewrite the descriptions at a later date, we simply do not have the time during jam.
- There's nothing in the game that explains that the Trainer Card is how you keep track of your Golden Diamonds. (FIXED IN 4.0 DOWNLOAD)
- Audio mixing is an issue due to time constraints.
