About the Game

Dirt

When you wake up, you find yourself devoid of all memories, strictly watched over by an old man. Through a diary, you learn your supposed mission—to become a hero and save the world.

But what awaits you is far from the journey you expected...

Dirt is a hand-drawn pixel-art JRPG where both the art style and the enemies you face are as absurd as they are eerie. Explore a world steeped in nostalgia, accompanied by retro music. The gameplay is based on a classic turn-based strategy battle system, making it easy to pick up. The story revolves around a deep exploration of freedom, using absurd storytelling to provoke serious thought, ultimately revealing the truth about both the world and yourself.
