Deep into sand, even for a prototype, is a very uneven experience. The background art is amazing and the one character sprite matches the vibes pretty well. However, these qualities are dragged down severely by the writing. Spelling and grammar mistakes happen often and the prose goes from passable to incomprehensible, especially during the action scene near the start. Other problems here include the barrage of unexplained terms, a lack of visual description and a confusing timeframe in regards to when the story takes place. There's much polish needed to make this into something interesting, but in its current state, it is hard to recommend.
