About the Game

The colony is gone. A fog came through, and when it cleared, everything was still.
Now it is only you, a small mouse, and a few scared brothers trying to stay alive.

The bodies left behind are strange. When you touch them, their spirits drift out. Some try to guide you. Some blame you. Some just want something from you before they go.

Nest of Dust is a small story about loss, survival, and the odd powers hiding inside an old house.

You are tiny and frightened, but your brothers need you. Everyone else is gone, leaving behind empty shells and the ghosts waiting inside them.

As you explore the walls, the attic, and the quiet spaces between, you will run into little tasks and challenges the ghosts push you through. Some are about keeping someone safe. Some test your timing. More will come as you go.

  • Explore the house from a mouse’s view

  • Pick up strange abilities from the spirits you free

  • Take on simple challenges set by the dead

  • Meet ghosts that can be gentle, harsh, or just lonely
