A tribe called The Ancients is stranded on a dull and empty island, so they summon The Breath to aid them on their journey to a better land. In the puzzle god game "From Dust" you literally mold the world to your liking by re-arranging earth, lava and water - a handful at a time. With soft earth you help the people get across the map, detour riverstreams and grow plants; lava, once cooled, crafts unpenetrable rock but it sets the vegetation on fire; and water stops any fire but can drown your people. You find yourself constantly playing with danger in order to progress. Add natural disasters, temporary powers, environment-affecting trees, and compelling gameplay is yours - as well as amazing imagery. The music can get repetitive, though.
