A landscape to ride.

Lone Sands is about choosing a route through the world. A wind-sail or kite pulls your board across dunes, ocean swells, snow and ice. Launch from a crest, glide on an air current, and carry a chain of tricks into the next stretch of terrain.

Explore ancient ruins, step off the board, change your rider's outfit and equipment, or stop to frame a scene in photo mode. An atlas records the places you discover. There is no quest chain directing the ride.

The planned demo

The demo is a bounded dune region with the normal riding mechanics, wardrobe, atlas and photo mode, without a time limit. The wider ocean, frozen landscapes and other realms are full-game content.

Development status

Controller and keyboard/mouse flows are implemented. Device-specific compatibility and minimum-hardware testing are in progress. Further platform releases and Steam Deck verification have not been announced.

For coverage

Files, ready to use.

In-engine captures

Through the world.

Download an image at its original resolution. Captions distinguish normal riding and photo mode; these are full-game views, not a promise that every location appears in the demo.

Cinematic showcase

A wider view.

The showcase includes the full game's landscapes. It is a cinematic trailer, not a performance benchmark or a continuous capture of the playable demo.
