Both the books and movies spend a lot of time explaining the mechanics of surviving on the harsh desert world of Arrakis, which made me pretty curious to learn more about Dune: Awakening during a recent hands-off gameplay preview from developer Funcom. Funcom is keeping the story largely under wraps for now, but Awakening takes place at a time when the Fremen — the only people who thrive in the harsh desert environment — seem to all be missing, which appears to be the central mystery. You can avoid this somewhat by sticking to the cooler shadows or venturing out at night, but no matter what, you’ll have to be well attuned to your hydration level, represented by a big blue bar.
