Desert of Doitjma

About

Desert of Doitjma is a single-player RPG set in a sun-scorched desert where three characters take turns leading a rescue mission. Play as Junji, Gabriela, or Dr. Frank as they navigate shifting terrain, collect keys, and battle creatures tied to an ancient alien threat. Combat mixes quick-time actions with resource management while environmental puzzles unlock progress. The story unfolds through fragmented logs and character backstories that hint at a larger conspiracy. The game’s tight pacing and atmospheric visuals stand out, though its smaller scope keeps it focused. Community feedback highlights the satisfying blend of action and exploration, with some noting the three distinct playstyles add variety. Released in 2020, it holds a 72% on Metacritic from 40 reviews. Shorter than most RPGs at 12-15 hours, it delivers a self-contained mystery with enough hooks to suggest future entries.
