June: Dune
June and dune are homophones - words that sound the same despite different spelling. A perfect fit for this month’s theme!
Play games that have levels set in deserts, on beaches, or feature sand in some other prominent way.
In honour of Dune (the sci-fi media franchise) you can also play games tagged with “Sci-fi”.
You can use the following (or similar) format to make it easier for me to keep track of everyone’s progress, but feel free to add any extra thoughts about the game(s) to your post!

Thanks for setting up the Theme early! :D
But…aren’t homophones just words pronounced alike but different in meaning (source), like night and knight?
June and Dune just…rhyme, no?

It was only two months early!
Some Brits pronounce it the same way as “June”.
TIL… thanks! (Do they pronounce it “sand junes”, or is this unique to the book/movie)?
I want to join.
