THE BROTHERHOOD has crafted a homage to adventure games from your childhood. BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION is a 2D isometric adventure 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.
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, beautifully rendered in 2D isometric art.

BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION is brought to you by THE BROTHERHOOD, the studio behind STASIS (Adventure game of the year 2015) and CAYNE.
Oh my god this game sis so good!
I funded it on Kickstarter, knew the guys from Stasis, so I knew they will deliver quality, and they certainly did!
The game feels like if you would play Fallout 2 as a point&click adventure game! Great writing with sometimes surprising twists and turns, beautiful graphics and art-style!
Totally worth to buy and play it!
The graphics is just gorgeous, the voice acting is great, the story is engaging. If you like point and click adventure games, this is a treat. I will keep my eye on this developer in the future.
I'm a fan of The Brotherhood's games and a multiple-time backer.
This is a good adventure game but I felt disconnected from the characters (other than your companions), I'm not sure why that disconnect was there I just couldn't relate to the characters and their world. (It could just be me, the writing or a mix of both.)
Got this from Kickstarter. Was expecting a post-apocalyptic point and click. What you do get is:
- a beautiful game & nice immersive soundtrack (hence 2 starts)
- a clunky interface, that spends its time scrolling as it is centered on your mustached persona, where seeking things with your mouse is replace by making the screen scroll all the time and catching for greenish things appear.
- puzzles just don"t feel right, from the very start. Items feel wrong, not adapted to the game as if they were added by someone else.
- world descriptions are very poorly written
- dialogues are poorly acted (I appreciate the accents... just not the act)
- a 2020s interpretation of 80's electro-future feel with aliens (not really a post-apocalyptic feel in the end, not even an 80s retro-future post-apocalyptic)
The beginning of the story doesn't help, with a few scenes trying to get you into the world but actually just being reminiscent of a poor 80's TV show, with robots that look more like Disney Wars rather than post-apocalyptic functional items, and the scrolling system is just sooo bad.
Conclusion: Skip this game, better point and click games are out there.
