Our take on Duskpunk

The pitch emphasizes revolution and the city’s fate, but it also frames the experience around personal survival: managing health, energy, and stress while earning money, developing skills, and choosing allies.

What is Duskpunk?

Duskpunk is a dice-driven RPG set in Dredgeport, a steampunk city marked by gang control, corruption, and the daily burning of war dead for fuel.

The player character is an ex-soldier mistakenly sent back to the city for processing, who escapes and must try to survive while managing health, energy, and stress. The gameplay combines city exploration, skill development, work, and choices about whom to trust. Skills can be built around a chosen line of work, while earning money and forming alliances provide ways to navigate the city. Characters have personal histories and uncertain motives, and decisions can affect the city’s fate. The story also follows the character’s attempt to deal with a traumatic past.

How Duskpunk plays

01Survival tracking: Health, energy, and stress are tracked as the character tries to make it through the city.
02Lasting choices: Decisions can influence what happens to Dredgeport.
03Character alliances: Potential allies have their own histories and motives, and may shape the character’s fate.
