Dust: An Elysian Tail is an indie, side-scrolling action RPG game by Dean Dodril (a.k.a. NoogyToad) and Humble Hearts for the Xbox 360. It stars a titular protagonist, who has no recollection of his memories and sets out on an adventure with his fairy side-kick Fidget and the ancient sword Ahrah in hand to find the answers he's looking for while helping an oppressed village in need of a hero.

The game was first planned as an Xbox Live Indie Games title during its early developmental stages, although after the submission of the game at Microsoft's Dream.Build.Play contest at PAX East of 2009, Dean Dodril won the grand prize of a contract with Microsoft to release the game as an Xbox Live Arcade title at the event.

Dust: An Elysian Tail's story is based on an animated film titled Elysian Tail that is on indefinite hold.

Tropes used in Dust: An Elysian Tail include:

Amnesiac Hero: Dust.
Combos: Naturally, although players are free to mash their way to victory and enjoy the story rather fight with finese.
Cool Sword, Empathic Weapon: Ahrah.
Fairy Companion: Fidget, to Dust.
Homage: Of the developer's favorite side-scrolling action games.
Petting Zoo People
Metroidvania
Quest for Identity
Scenery Porn: This game is up to par with Vanillaware in terms of beatifully detailed and hand-drawn scenary.
Sidequest
