InSand: Raiders of Sophie, players are thrust into the desolate deserts of the fallen planet Sophie, and they embark on a quest to uncover resources and treasures. To navigate this harsh terrain efficiently, players are provided with the ability to design and modify their own Trampler, a walking mech capable of traversing the islands that were once submerged beneath a vast sea. Your Trampler is your base.

The Trampler serves as the player's main base, both as a means of exploration and loot storage. Players are able to customize their tramplers, from interior design, to upgrading its power, armor, and weapons. Team up with other players to pool your resources together to create the ultimate movable base in a large open world.

In an alternate history version of 1910, humanity had made significant advancements in space exploration thanks to the discovery of new energy sources. The Austro-Hungarian Empire led the way in conquering other planets, but a mysterious ecological disaster struck planet Sophie, forcing its settlers to hastily leave behind a once-resource-rich world. Motivated by desperation, the bravest and most impoverished individuals from the empire now journey to planet Sophie, seeking to test their fate, uncover hidden riches in the barren wastelands, and profoundly change their lives.

Publisher tinyBuild and indie developers Hologryph and TowerHaus welcome you to survive a desert world of action-packed, mech-fueled, multiplayer mayhem in Sand: Raiders of Sophie, coming to Steam on June 10, 2026.

Customize massive, modular mechs, scavenge the vast desert, and face off against fearsome enemies and other ruthless players. Jump into Sand: Raiders of Sophie's open server slam playtest now through this weekend on Steam to experience the action for yourself early!

In SAND’s new server slam playtest, going on now, players will discover deadly new PvE Trampler mechs to face off against, as well as expanded weapons, Trampler customization options, and points of interest. There's also the new Storm Dive Mode, featuring more risk and even greater rewards alongside a violent storm which progressively shrinks the safe zones on the map, pushing players to a final confrontation against each other with a massive Dreadnought shipwreck to loot as your prize!

The characters originate from Galicia, a region within the Austro-Hungarian Empire predominantly inhabited by Ukrainians and Poles. During the early stages of colonization, the Kaiser promised the Galicians a significant portion of the planet Sophie, enticing them to volunteer as the primary labor force for constructing the cities that would eventually belong to them. Despite the ecological disaster, the allure of owning their own space territories proves difficult to abandon. The most resilient and desperate Galicians, who have little to lose, resort to semi-legal means of reaching the planet, driven by their determination to rectify historical injustices and claim what they believe is rightfully theirs.

Key Features:

• FORGE YOUR FORTRESS, DOMINATE THE DESERT: Design your Tramplers from scratch in the Trampler Editor before deploying into the world. Build your very own modular impenetrable fortress that can weather the deadliest of assaults. The only limits are your creativity and will to succeed!
• SQUAD UP OR GO SOLO: Get your crew together, or go solo as you embark on expeditions. Deploy into the world, chart your course, and scavenge cities, ruins, shipwrecks and other remnants of a fallen world for loot.
• MULTIPLAYER DIESELPUNK ACTION: Every city looted, shipwreck scoured or ill-timed encounter with fellow scavengers endured might just be your last, so keep your wits about you. Survive encounters with mysterious supernatural forces, fight or talk your way out of confrontations with other players, successfully make it to your extraction point, and escape to the safety of the orbital station with your loot, life and Trampler intact.
• BRAVE THE DUNES: Test your builds and scavenge lower-tier items at your own pace in Voyage Mode, or raise the stakes with a shrinking map and escalating dangers in Storm Dive Mode for higher-tier loot and greater rewards.
• PERSISTENT PROGRESS: Unlike traditional survival games, SAND eliminates the dreaded offline raid; your Trampler extracts with you at the end of each session. Build, fight, extract, repeat - without losing everything while you sleep.
