BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION is an isometric adventure set in a distant future. Explore a post-apocalyptic landscape, solve puzzles, meet new friends and make powerful enemies, mediate conflicts, and fight for your life as you unravel the secrets of the world around you.
Mark, a man out of time, searches for his lost brother Don in a far-flung futuristic era ruled by highly advanced technologies, which are both revered and reviled. Your surroundings hold echoes of a desolate past and glimpses of a dark future that has yet to be written by your actions. Be prepared to face many tough choices that will shape this land long after you complete your journey.
The inhabitants of this world will help and hinder you as you make new discoveries and navigate the spectacular African-inspired landscape. Negotiate your passage with local leaders, healers, and warriors, or find yourself embroiled in a battle against nanite swarms, enormous scorpions, and rocket-equipped robots.
From thriving villages to crumbling cities, petrified forests, and bone-dry ocean beds, this strange new world holds a multitude of terrains to uncover.
BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION features music by MICK GORDON, known for his work on Wolfenstein®, DOOM®, Prey®, Killer Instinct® and Need for Speed®.
