About:
You’re broke, you’re hungry, and your only friends are a vintage hoverbike and a bowl of ramen
noodles.
In Desert Child, you are a young and talented hoverbike racer who needs to figure out how you can
scrape enough cash together through racing and odd jobs to punch your one-way ticket to the Red
Planet to enter the biggest race in the universe, the Grand Prix.
The world as we know it is slowly starting to become unhabitable, as many people on Earth have
moved to Mars for a better quality of life, thanks to a government subsidy that assisted in relocating
citizens by providing affordable passage. After several years of running this program, the government
announces that in two weeks, tickets to Mars would go up in price, making the exodus to the Red
Planet unobtainable for regular citizens.
You’ll deliver pizzas, collect gun parts, hunt bounties, and make some fans along the way. In between
races, you’ll explore colorful cities where you can repair and upgrade your bike, dine on the local
cuisine, and fight your way through gangsters, bounty hunters, and all sorts of interesting characters,
just so that you can have a decent meal and keep your bike running.
Nothing’s free in Desert Child.
