About the Game
Dustless is a hand-drawn wuxia side-scrolling action game built around Yin-Yang switching, fast offensive pressure, endless combo routing, and boss duels. You play as a swordsman in white, crossing shadowed sword tombs, broken roads, and silent ruins.
Yin and Yang are not just meters. They are part of the combo system. Each state affects how you connect skills, manage resources, and control the rhythm of battle. As you improve, the focus shifts from “how do I block the next hit” to “how do I keep attacking.”
Combat is driven by aggression. Chain normal attacks, sword skills, Yin-Yang switching, and resource loops to discover new combo routes and keep pressure high in fast-paced fights.
The game features multiple boss fights and powerful enemies. Each battle asks you to read attack rhythms, decide when to press forward, when to switch states, and when to use defense as a fallback.
Dustless includes ability unlocks, revisiting old areas, hidden content, and some exploration routes. Its focus, however, is not a vast map. The core experience is fast action, Yin-Yang switching, combo routing, and boss combat.

Game Experience Optimization Patch Notes 2026-5-3
Hello everyone. This update is mainly a staged cleanup and improvement pass for the overall client-side experience. First, I want to be clear: I do not consider the game to be fully polished yet. In fact, this update is more about addressing some issues from previous versions that had a noticeable impact on the play experience. For example, some scenes made it hard to see the path clearly, some foreground and background elements were not easy to distinguish, some audio levels were not balanced enough, and some button prompts did not update in time according to the input device the player was actually using. Each of these problems may not seem huge on its own, but during actual play, they can distract the player, cause misjudgment, and even affect patience with the game itself. So for this update, I prioritized the basic experience issues that directly affect whether players can see clearly, hear clearly, and understand their controls clearly. Visually, some main-route scenes have had their foreground, background, and walkable areas adjusted. In some darker scenes, the atmosphere was there, but players could feel unsure about where the terrain boundary was, what could be walked on, and what was only background. This update adjusts brightness, contrast, ground edges, and background layering, with the goal of making movement routes easier to read while preserving the original mood. The Sword Tomb area received a relatively large amount of work in this update. I still want it to retain a dark, oppressive, tomb-like feeling, but I do not want players to simply feel that it is too dark, blurry, or hard to read. Because of that, I added and adjusted wall, cliff, stone, and ground-layer textures in parts of the area. The goal is to make the scene structure clearer and to make the visual walkable areas line up more accurately with the collision areas. Some assets are still not final, and I will continue reviewing them and replacing parts that do not feel unified enough. For ...Read full article on Community Announcements (疯狂制作人)Patch NotesOfficial
Temporary Hotfix Patch:
