About this game
Excavate a buried flying machine before sandstorms bury your team alive. Forbidden Desert escalates beautifully — the desert keeps shifting, the sun drains your water, and the tension builds until someone inevitably gets buried under one tile too many. A tighter, more satisfying cooperative experience than its predecessor.
