The Steam page describes Dune: Awakening as follows:
Trapped. Alone. Lost in the desert with nothing but the clothes on your back.
Avoid the roaming sandworms and seek shadows to stay out of the scorching sun. Extract water from blood and cling to life. Uncover the knowledge of the Fremen and study the Schools of the Imperium to expand your repertoire of abilities, weapons, and tools.
Build a home to protect from the raging sandstorms, then expand your operations with machinery and lavish decorations to show off your increasing fortune and power.
Take to the skies to map the vast, open world of Arrakis. Beyond the horizon lies an even bigger world to explore, from the bustling social hubs of Arrakeen and Harko Village, to the dangers of the Deep Desert with its massive spice blows and unburied treasures waiting to be discovered.
Survival is only the beginning. Join the Atreides or the Harkonnen, rise through their ranks, and take part in political conflict by controlling the Landsraad, making decrees that impact every player in your world.
Alone or together with friends, can you survive, thrive, and rise to power on Dune?
