A Narrative Strategy Game That Confronts the Nature of Power
A wonderful review by Cameron Kunzelman on Waypoint about Dust and Salt
Dust and Salt is a text-based narrative adventure with a pinch of turn-based tactical battles which has you as the main hero leading your troops in a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world. You decide where to go and whom to form alliances with. Force your will with either diplomacy or through war.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

A wonderful review by Cameron Kunzelman on Waypoint about Dust and Salt
Extremely proud to present to you the next adventure from the Sin Lands! https://store.steampowered.com/app/835640/Dust_and_Salt_The_Battle_for_Murk/ To celebrate its launch it's 15% discounted. It adds another layer to the revenge story from the first and I am very curious to find out what you think of it.
The next story from the world of the Sin Lands is right around the corner! Add it to your wishlist here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/835640/Dust_and_Salt_The_Battle_for_Murk In the first game you've battled numerous foes to build up an army and seek vengeance on the city of Murk. This time around you'll take the role of a corporal from the city watch of Murk itself! You'll experience the conflict from the enemy's point of view! Is the soul of the city as black as it seems? Is the path of vengeance at its end? All will be revealed in the final BATTLE FOR MURK!
Fixed a bug with disappearing story text after clicking 'Center player' button followed by a click on a map location flag. Anyone who notices any unusual behavior let me know, please, and I'll fix it asap. Thank you all for your support!
Major UPDATE! I've tested as much as I could to make sure that the old version won't break but, please, let me know if you encounter any kind of new issues! Added Steam Cloud integration! Share your story state and progression between your computers. Added additional checkpoints. Reworked checkpoints system! All checkpoints are now stored in the checkpoints vault which you can access from the chest icon at the top. Jump back and forth if you want to play all the possibilities without restarting the game. Added transition between story and map. Added functionality to Center Player button (flag

Update: The fix is live in version 1.1.0. Thank you all for your patience! I will continue to monitor this behavior just to make sure all is OK. Hey, all! I want to warn you that a critical bug is found when your troops are diminished before entering battle but the hex battle doesn't result in defeat. I am actively working on a fix, expect it by the end of today for both PC and Mac! I apologize for any inconvenience that this might cause! Until a fix is presented, you may use your checkpoints in case you stumble upon the issue and try to keep your troops alive till the end :)

Winter has finally arrived in force in London, bringing with it some questions. Whose idea was it to live on the surface? Why would anyone wear a fleece without arms? What kind of monster thinks it’s okay to make a coat with fake pockets, and why didn’t everyone immediately kill him with spears? Alas, these are not questions that Unknown Pleasures can answer. But if your local mountaintop hermit has no idea what the best new Steam releases are, you’re in luck. Lining our inexplicably porous gloves this week: liminal AIs, invisible mines, and gender critical spies. (more&helli
Added checkpoint earlier in the game. Reverted "Center Player" button to its old behavior. Fixed a critical bug on Mac OS X with Steam Achievements integration. Fixed various typos. Fixed a bug where you can use troops without having them. Fixed tool-tips titles when assembling squads not showing the correct squad name. Fixed training grounds battlefield having its hex cells to appear a bit off. Minor UI improvements.
