DUST 9: The Company Went Bust. The Robots Didn't.
A shared universe of five small games about orphaned robots continuing a dead mining company's pointless work on a desert planet.
Field notes
The project organizes its fictional setting as a dead company's internal operating structure, with each game assigned to a department and an asset code. STEELYARD is described as a quarterly territorial strategy game, while SORT SQUADRON is marked as a running prototype; the remaining projects range from an idle speedrun to a care simulation and deduction game. The page also distinguishes fixed material from open concepts, and explicitly gives no release date.
