A Rasp of Sand is a rogue-lite adventure built on the skeleton of Knave, requiring access to its system or another similar game for play. The story revolves around an ocean spirit's grief and anger over his family sacrificing young heirs in return for their ancestor bringing them back from drowning at sea each 25 years as long ago they had sacrificed themselves there before going into a deep sleep that only awakened after the current generation dies, hoping to restore balance between past good deeds done. You will fail this time but gain knowledge of your ancestors' sacrifices and pass it onto future heirs in an ever-changing temple environment where depths mirror ecosystems with new threats as well as unique puzzles for you and other players to solve together or individually depending on the depth's secrets hidden deep below sea level, all while ensuring that a Rasp event does not need any underwater combat knowledge. Treasure chests of powerful artifacts are kept within these mysterious layers waiting to be uncovered by your family members' inquisitive minds when they ascend into leadership roles each generation after their predecessors have passed away for good deeds done and hopes restored in the temple's ever-shifting depths, with you as a player able to keep knowledge acquired from one heir over another.
