About Roman Sands RE:Build

Welcome to Roman Sands RE:Build, an apocalyptic trip from the studio behind the IGF Award-winning Paratopic. A shape-shifting absurdist adventure that twists two stories together, taking you from a luxury tropical resort to post-apocalyptic survival. The ResortWash up on the beach of an indulgent Resort. According to the guests, you work here—AND you're slacking off. Race against time to rank up and earn equipment to stem their never-ending tide of demands.

The only catch to your employment: the sun is days away from swallowing the world, and the guests couldn't care less. Look under the surface: uncover the resort's secrets and solve puzzles in an attempt to escape. The FacilityOne of the last people left alive, you are the caretaker of a decaying zoological research station. Your only companions are a dead cow and a voice on the radio; it sounds familiar, but ... from where?

A parasite clogs the guts of your station: will you exterminate it and preserve the station's work, even at the cost of your own survival? Are these worlds the same? When are they? WHAT are they!? Two distinct narratives overlap and mutate in a delirious genre apocalypse: adventure, visual novel, puzzle solving, survival simulation, and atmospheric horror collide to tell a story of escaping the inescapable.
