Desert to Return Home

A survival visual novel set in a desert after a plane crash. You wake to find the airplane's ceiling gone and an endless desert stretching before you. Armed only with limited water, a cracked smartphone, and a house key, you must decide how to survive: scavenge the wreckage or start walking? Wait for rescue or seek distant structures? Travel by day or rest until night? Eat unfamiliar plants and drink questionable water? Each choice shapes your circumstances and ending. With no authority figures to guide you and no dice rolls or stat tracking, you must rely on your own judgment to navigate heat, thirst, cold nights, unseen creatures, and sudden environmental changes. The game features seven possible endings, including survival and death scenarios, with approximately 3,500 words total across multiple playthroughs.
