What Duskers is

Duskers is an indie game developed by Misfits Attic and released in 2016. It is available on Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

In Duskers you pilot drones into derelict spaceships to find the means to survive and piece together how the universe became a giant graveyard. You are a drone operator, surrounded by old gritty tech that acts as your only eyes and ears to the outside world. What you hear comes through a remote microphone. What you see is how each drone sees the world. Motion sensors tell you something's out there, but not what. And when you issue commands, you do it through a command line interface.
