Desert Child is a mix of a 2D racing game, RPG and life simulator, set in a distant future where Earth is slowly being abandoned by people. The game was developed by Oscar Brittain from Australia. The creator is an architect who made his debut in 2016 with a small game World's Fastest Pizza, released exclusively on PC.

In 2017, Desert Child was funded through a successful Kickstarter fund-raising campaign. The author was inspired by numerous science fiction anime productions, including Redline, the legendary Akira and Cowboy Bepop. Desert Child has been honoured and awarded at numerous independent game festivals.

Plot

Desert Child takes place in the distant future. The Earth is slowly being abandoned by its residents, who chose a new life on Mars, using government travel subsidy programs. After a few years, however, the chance of extraterrestrial relocation ends when the ticket price is raised to a level that only the richest can afford. The main character of Desert Child is a pilot of a levitating scooter. He tries to make ends meet by performing various types of courier orders and hunting for people from wanted letters.

PS4Blog.net: 6.5 / 10

Desert Child is certainly a different type of release that puts you in the shoes of a young guy who must find the balance between racing (work) and fixing his vehicle and eating (life). This release is not for everyone, but it is still enjoyable as a unique style of experience.

DualShockers: 3.5 / 10 by Steven Santana

Desert Child is a confusing game and parsing whether it has deeper meanings that are unclear, or just non-existent, is exceedingly frustrating.

Full Review

Hardcore Gamer: 2.5 / 5 by Jordan Helm

Though its pixellated visuals and bright environments do provide brief pleasantries in the first hour or so, the little variety in its missions and very reason to stay invested other than grinding until the climax results in a game caught between two minds, committing, sadly, to neither one in the process.
