A photogrammetrist and VFX artist for the studio AoS is sent to the Yemeni desert with colleagues to gather references for the sequel to their blockbuster hit, Sables 3. While searching for a missing teammate, the protagonist falls into a hidden cavern.

Awakening in total darkness, he uses his tools to explore and discovers the ruined city of Iram, a fabled location thought lost to history. Haunted and mysterious, the city becomes the stage for his desperate attempt to escape.

The core gameplay of our game revolves around using a topography scanner that enhances the player's senses to navigate the environment. This environment follows unpredictable patterns that push the player toward madness. The player's objective is to overcome obstacles (environmental puzzles) and find an exit to survive and escape this space using a LiDAR scanner.

"Atlantis of Sands" is currently our third-years project before graduating and is in development.
