Under a Desert Sun: Seekers of the Cursed Vessel, is a single-player and co-op action RPG set in WWII-era Egypt. Battle soldiers and undead hordes, explore ancient tombs, and uncover a dark curse. Play solo or with friends in local co-op, with new heroes and content coming in Early Access.
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
AI-generated artwork was used during early development, primarily as temporary material while testing and building the game. Much of this artwork has already been replaced, both in the game and on the Steam page, with original work created by commissioned artists and by me. I will continue replacing remaining assets where bespoke artwork meaningfully improves the game, with a strong focus on ensuring that its characters, environments, key visuals, and overall artistic identity are shaped by original artist-created work.
