Publisher Serenity Forge (known for titles such as To the Moon, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!, and Kill Princess) and developer Arbitrary Metric jointly announced that the apocalyptic resort simulation game Roman Sands RE:Build will officially launch on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms on September 17, 2026.
Trailer:
Roman Sands RE:Build is a surreal journey that breaks genre boundaries, with the story shifting between a deserted luxury resort and mysterious facilities. On the brink of ecological collapse, players drift to a luxurious resort that turns a blind eye to the impending apocalypse. Here, you must work, dealing with all kinds of guests whose demands are never-ending, while time quietly slips away. As you fulfill your daily duties, climb the ranks, and abide by various quirky rules, you will unlock new tools, handle increasingly bizarre tasks, and uncover secrets buried beneath the glossy surface.
Along the way, Roman Sands RE:Build throws you into an isolated time loop—a dilapidated zoological research station where your only companions are a dead cow and voices coming from the radio. A parasite has taken hold within the station, and you must decide whether to eradicate it completely to protect the remaining research—even if it may endanger your own survival.
The adventure spans across a resort and a research station. Roman Sands RE:Build blends elements of adventure games, visual novels, horror, simulation, and puzzle design, weaving an unsettling story that blurs the line between reality and fiction, exploring the theme of "trying to break free from an inescapable system."
Players interested in surreal themes or innovative narrative styles can head to Steam now to add Roman Sands RE:Build to their wishlist.
