The award-winning adventure game, Beautiful Desolation is now available in Bulgarian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese!
Beautiful Desolation was initially released in 2020 and garnered multiple awards for its distinct art, story, and setting.
You are flung into a futuristic, alternate-reality South Africa dominated by advanced alien technology that’s both revered and reviled. Explore, solve puzzles, make key dialogue choices and be prepared to face tough decisions in a sci-fi setting left pretty much untouched by other games. From thriving African sci-fi villages to crumbling tropical cities. Mutated forests and bone-dry ocean beds - all beautifully rendered in 2D isometric art.
UNFORGETTABLE FACES ALL FULLY VOICED
Humanity as you know it has been reshaped, something most evident from the characters in BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION. Technology and sentient life have become blurred. Religious zealot mechs run rife. Humans are willingly stripped of their flesh for immortality. Trans-humanistic tribes warring for power. And ruthless alien-like hunter mercenaries roaming the grasslands - to name but a few. Meet and interact with over 40 unique and bizarre characters, each fully voiced by authentic African voice actors, with thousands of lines of dialogue and multiple conversation paths. Additionally, CGI cutscenes are strewn throughout the story to bring you even closer to this enthralling sci-fi world and its characters.
MASTERFUL MUSIC SCORE
BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION features a vibrant and highly experimental soundtrack by none other than Mick Gordon, known for his work on DOOM®, Prey®, and Wolfenstein®.

We are also actively posting sneak peaks of BONE TOTEM, our next game!
Salvaging duo, Charlie and Mac scour the ocean for a living. They hit the motherload and come across DEEPSEA 15; a seemingly abandoned Cayne Corporation rig in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
It only gets worse from there…
STASIS: BONE TOTEM is a thrilling and spine-tingling journey into the unknown fathoms of the icy ocean and the terrors that await a family. They will uncover a threat far beyond their wildest dreams.
Mac, Charlie, and their Super-Toy, Moses will scrape the depths of their resilience and descend into a sci-fi horror story that will test their resolve, their relationships and push them to the darkest corners of mankind.
By the team that created STASIS, CAYNE, and BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION, comes a gripping new tale set in the STASIS universe. STASIS: BONE TOTEM features beautifully created isometric environments and classic adventure gameplay, with a dash of horror.
An in-game 'hint' system will help Mark, Don and Pooch on their tireless journey to a desolate future.
To access this, pull up the PDA at any time and a quest list will appear. The list of tasks will subtly hint to your next objective or elude to what Mark thinks you should do next. For best results, start a new game!
We have also translated the 'To-Do system' into all supported languages.
If you enjoyed STASIS and CAYNE you're going to love BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION.
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.

EARLY REVIEWS:
"It’s a rabbit hole that has gripped me more and more the further down I’ve dared to venture. I’ve gone from just being intrigued by the concept, to staying up later than I should because I can’t wait to see what happens next." -pennyworthreviews.com 4.5/5
"The world of Beautiful Desolation is like a binder overflowing with artistic creativity. Every area is comprised of an astonishing amount of details coming together into natural monuments or unique architectures related to different cultures." -thegameslashers.com
We've amassed a talent pool of AMAZING artists that have lent their voices to this game. Julian Casey (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0143456/) has voiced Mark. He's best known for his roles in Far Cry and the Assassin's Creed series. Joining him are our usual veterans, Ryan and Glen Copper, as well as Sarah Williams (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Anne_Williams) from Final Fantasy, Persona 5 and Skullgirls.
WIDE SCREEN 21:9 SUPPORT
Desolation will support native Ultra Wide Monitors. It does look pretty darn, cool at 2560 x 1080px. We'll also support 16:9 and 16:10.
Roboto (https://roboto.global/games-localisation/) is working on the translation of Beautiful Desolation into Russian, German and French. More languages may be added once the game is released and we'd then seek partners to this end, as we did with STASIS. The translation process was built to be as simple as possible, and can be edited as an Excel Spreadsheet if needed, so we hope fans will also aid further translation!
