Arid

Description

Arid is a solo survival open-world game set in the harsh landscapes of the Atacama Desert during the 1930s. Developed by students from Breda University of Applied Sciences, it began as an academic project and evolved over 24 weeks into a fully playable experience. Players find themselves as the sole survivor of a plane crash, stranded in one of the driest places on Earth. The game challenges you to manage extreme temperatures, dehydration, and limited resources while exploring the vast desert. With no hand-holding, survival depends on your ability to repair shelters, gather supplies, and navigate dangerous terrain. The environment is unforgiving—sun exposure, sandstorms, and scarce water make every decision critical. Arid blends realism with creative liberties to deliver a tense, immersive experience.
