UPDATE 18/2/20: Developer The Brotherhood’s striking post-apocalyptic point-and-click adventure Beautiful Desolation – the (unrelated) follow-up to its excellent 2015 sci-fi horror Stasis – will be is heading to PC next Wednesday, 26th February.
And with that news comes a bit of additional scene-setting to get you in the mood: “The Penrose appeared without warning,” teases The Brotherhood, “The technology hurtled mankind forward, but a catastrophic event meant that desolation would ensue. The world’s chaos quietened but there was tragedy at home for Mark and Don Leslie, when an incident tore apart their brotherly bond in this dramatic story that spans the 1980s and beyond.”
The adventure that follows sees players exploring the Sub-Saharan wilds with Mark, Don, and their reconnaissance drone POOCH, in order to “discover villages, destroyed cities, colourful personalities, and uncover the secrets of strange and abandoned technology.”

ORIGINAL STORY 5/2/20: The Brotherhood, responsible for 2015’s wonderfully atmospheric isometric sci-fi horror Stasis, has unveiled a new trailer for its latest project: lushly rendered post-apocalyptic point-and-click adventure Beautiful Desolation, which is heading to PC soon.
Beautiful Desolation, which entered development after a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2017, follows the adventures of protagonist Dr. Mark Leslie, described as a “man out of time”, as he searches for his missing brother in a post-apocalyptic future “ruled by highly advanced technologies which are both revered and reviled”.
