00:00 One, two, three, four!
00:02 2030, in North America, you play PAX, a 30-something anomal.
00:07 Looking for a way out? You're offered a life-changing opportunity.
00:11 All you have to do is steal and deliver a mysterious package across the country.
00:16 Joined by a crew with their own peculiar powers,
00:19 you will explore an alternate America on a robot-driven tour bus,
00:24 embark on a perilous road trip,
00:26 and try to stay out of trouble to reach your final destination.
00:30 I'll give it to you, Theo. This is, uh...
00:36 What's the word I'm looking for?
00:38 Primitive.
00:39 Rustic.
00:40 Cozy. Cozy's the word.
00:41 Dustborn is all about the crew.
00:44 Their unique powers, complex relationships, and personal stories.
00:49 The crew grows as you recruit new people along the way,
00:52 and each of them has a special skill or power that can be of use to PAX.
00:57 You need to do something!
00:58 She's freaking out! What do we do?
01:00 Gnome's ability to read people's emotions and influence them.
01:04 Just listen to my voice. You'll be fine.
01:06 Psy!
01:07 What?
01:08 Hold the bus up.
01:09 Psy's super strength that always comes in handy.
01:12 Shit, that's heavy!
01:14 And Theo's non-supernatural software skills.
01:17 Network's down. Got it.
01:19 Luna! System's rebooted.
01:22 [System rebooting]
01:24 [Yawns]
01:26 Welcome to the castle. How was the trip?
01:30 Um...
01:31 Maybe you should handle this one, Theo.
01:34 Uh, guys? Guys!
01:35 This trip won't be all butterflies and rainbows.
01:38 The people you stole the package from...
01:39 Fuck that! Let's just go!
01:41 They want it back.
01:42 You can't follow us into the DMZ.
01:43 But won't the Republic border guards wonder why a punk rock band on a tour bus is being pursued by Puritans?
01:49 I've been hailed by Justice Border Patrol. I'm required to stop the vehicle.
01:52 Oh, fuck!
01:53 We'll soon find out.
01:54 Good afternoon, officer.
01:56 Your purpose for entering the Republic?
01:58 We're a band.
01:59 A band? Everybody off the bus.
02:01 What do we even play? We haven't practiced!
02:04 Whenever you're ready.
02:06 One, two, three, four!
02:08 Your name? The Dustborn.
02:10 From official gigs you're booked for to unexpected border checks,
02:14 perform to the best of your abilities to not raise suspicions about your travel motives,
02:19 write new songs, and practice on the road to maintain your cover.
02:22 That was great.
02:24 But road trips are full of surprises and unexpected encounters,
02:28 and you won't get away without picking some fights.
02:31 So don't forget to pack your baseball bat.
02:34 Girl power!
02:36 Use vocal powers to talk your way out of hairy situations,
02:41 and call in some of your crew to help you.
02:44 We're the aliens!
02:46 Leave my friends alone!
02:48 Stand still!
02:49 They'll always have your back,
02:51 as long as you have theirs.
02:53 No road is long with good company.
02:56 You'll meet new people along the way,
02:58 allowing you to expand your crew and possibilities.
03:02 Use your time at the campfire to weave strong relationships with each of them,
03:06 whether it strengthens the cohesion of the team...
03:09 This is good for all of us, and we get to do it together.
03:12 That's the best part.
03:14 ...or hurts it.
03:15 Depending on your choices, each crew member gets their own coda
03:19 that impacts their state of mind and answers.
03:22 No, I didn't!
03:23 And sometimes, even the course of action.
03:27 This road trip through America will be full of challenges,
03:33 so pack your bags and hop in!
03:35 You might not end up where you intended to go,
03:39 but you'll end up where you intended to be.
03:42 [tires screech]
03:43 [music]
