LIFE IS ALL ABOUT TIMING.

You get a target time. It vanishes. Count it in your head and fire on the beat. Too early and you miss. Too late and you're dust.

Second to Dust is a western quickdraw RPG for your browser, on desktop or phone. No clock, no meter, no rhythm to follow: just you, the count in your head, and the gunslinger across the street.

FEATURES

- Hidden-timer duels: your timing decides who shoots first, whether you hit, and how hard

- Aim for the head, torso or arm: risk a headshot, or wound his gun arm to throw off his aim

- 15 story missions across three regions: Red Hollow, Silver Gulch and Deadman's Crossing

- Six enemy personalities, from reckless outlaws to patient sharpshooters, plus bosses that change tactics as they bleed

- Create your gunslinger: name, hat, outfit, colors and more

- Gear up across five slots, unlock perks, and earn three legendary revolvers

- Bounty Board, Endless Duel and the Gilded Ace blackjack table

- Practice Range to sharpen your internal clock, with stats on every shot

- 20 achievements

- Accessibility options: large text, high contrast, reduced motion, full keyboard control

PUBLIC BETA

This is a free public beta. Your progress saves in your browser, with no account needed. The game works offline once loaded and sends nothing anywhere.

Creating my own rpg game and eventual studio has been a lifelong dream of mine. Im super excited to be able to pursue this dream and to have you all with me on the journey. Feedback is hugely appreciated, especially on difficulty. In the game, go to Settings > Beta Data > Export Report and attach the file to a comment. It contains only game stats: no name, no personal details.

Thanks !
