Gameplay

Players take on the role of Clementine "Clem/Graveyard Clem" McKinney (voiced by Renee Faia), a war veteran/mech pilot that lost her army in a post-post-apocalyptic version of the American Southwest, a region known as the Red Expanse. Upon controlling Clem, the player also controls her mech, The Desert Raptor MKII battle vehicle, which can be equipped with a variety of systems, such as heavy-powered melee weapons, steam-powered siege weapons, explosive guns and cannons, and defensive systems using thrusters, riot shields and more.

The farming element of the game has Clem fight her way through corners of the region, filled with violent criminals and dangerous beasts. Within this region is Clem's home, an isolated and run-down garage that acts as the player's base of operations. In the garage, the player can also customize how the base looks while building out water and power supplies, cook food, produce ammo for combat, and even raise some animals.

The game was showcased during the Annapurna Interactive Showcase in 2023. [2] On August 20, 2025, it was announced that the game was set to be released on October 23. [3]
