BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION is a 2D isometric adventure game set in the 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.

FEATURING

  • A story-driven adventure set in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future.
  • A unique tribal punk aesthetic and 2D isometric rendered environments.
  • Puzzles and classic adventure gameplay.
  • Bizarre creatures, animals and vibrant characters await.


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 score is masterfully crafted by composer Mick Gordon, known for his work on Wolfenstein®, DOOM®, Prey®, Killer Instinct® and Need for Speed®.







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, beautifully rendered in 2D isometric art.



FIND YOUR BROTHER AND GET HOME...



BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION™ is brought to you by THE BROTHERHOOD™, the studio behind STASIS® and CAYNE®.

Some reviews.





5/5
BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION offers a weird, and wonderful future of Earth to explore where you can make your mark. The journey is just as exciting and fantastic as the destination. There’s a unique world and game here that’s never been seen before, and THE BROTHERHOOD made sure of that. There’s nothing quite like BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION; it’s an experience you won’t soon forget, and is one of the finest adventure games I’ve ever played

This seems good but also clunky, more than Stasis imo. What are those green boxes on every object, why not just organically show the tooltip/information when I hover over the whole object/area rather than only on those preset bits and pieces that you can only find because the GUI marks them for you like that and kinda ruins the game's look on top? I hope I get over this because the rest of it seems pretty well made, but this is basic stuff, I spent a while searching options to disable it or thinking some input was conflicting and constantly enabling some "show stuff" hotkey as we get in old CRPGs with Alt or whatever.

cool new patch (thx for noticing Mor -chan)
Spanish and Turkish players can enjoy a fully translated game featuring over 75,000 words!

We have also released the OSX version of Beautiful Desolation for Mac adventure gamers!

A HINT system that can be toggled from the game menu should assist players who want to enjoy the story and not the adventure game grind.
