Airship Syndicate, the indie game studio behind Wayfinder, Darksiders: Genesis, and Battlechasers, has officially announced its next project, a sci-fi game called Dust: Origins (stylized as "DUST: Origins"), with a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to fund the game slated to start on July 28. Not much has been revealed about the upcoming game aside from a brief teaser and the tidbits on the game's Kickstarter page. The game is set on an orbital prison station in a state of disrepair, and players will take the role of a character recently freed from cryo-prison and have to "fight their way through a murderer's row of violent criminals and horrifying monsters before the station tears itself apart."

The game is touted as a "handcrafted sci-fi action game," while the catchphrase "there are no saints—only survivors," teases that choices matter and suggests that there will be a morality system that will affect how players experience the game's story. Some of the other hints of the game's content on the Kickstarter page include that it will be a "dark and immersive isometric action title." Its visuals and atmosphere appear to be largely inspired by Dead Space, which means we're likely to see some horror elements and claustrophobic fights. The official Dust: Origins teaser follows.
