The pixel-art horror game The Road of Dust and Sorrow launches on December 3, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch, and Switch 2. Painted Black Games and publisher Silver Lining Interactive confirmed the date on October 8, with a release trailer.
On PC, the Steam page lists the same date. The game is a linear survival adventure with exploration and puzzles, inspired by 1990s classics such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill, according to the official description.
The premise
A cure meant to end famine becomes humanity's ruin. The failed experiment twists people into feral creatures called Dusters, driven by hunger. Katherine and her daughter Ava roam what remains of civilization in search of a safer place. The journey draws the attention of a Preacher and a cult that sees humans as fertile soil.
The world described by the publisher has abandoned streets, buildings rotting from the inside, and vegetation growing back at an accelerated rate. The pitch is dystopian horror in pixel art, still built as a story-driven campaign.
