I have watched so many YouTube videos on the skeleton coast. Fascinating area of the world.

The rent is very reasonable but the cleaning fee is outrageous.

Honestly, it might have been used as one of their locations. I recognize this house.

Looks like it could be the same place. Not saying they are but they look so similar.

Wasn't this used in one of the scenes in the Fallout TV series?

There's a classic horror novel called The Elementals by Michael McDowell which features a house which is being slowly consumed by sand dunes. This makes me want to reread it.

Unfortunately desertification is a massive issue and there are probably a few towns that all look exactly like this.

Burried City...

Was seeking the Nier Automata reference

Was not disappointed. Was thinking this was more Housing Complex - Desert Zone
