DESOLATION

What is Desolation?

It was meant to be a normal day of work. In the distant future, as an engineer on the Vomulus Space Station, your normal day goes haywire as the elevator malfunctions and you hear everyone get killed by monstrosities, leaving you isolated with unspeakable terrors stalking you every step you go. Experience the dense and unsettling atmosphere of a lived-in space station, defend yourself and fight for survival against threats that don’t belong, with limited weapons such as Shotguns, Plasma Rifles, and more while fighting alien organisms and turned soldiers who don’t take kindly to your presence and must serve to the creatures above them. Some Droids have also gone haywire and will march at you endlessly until they strike you down.

In Desolation, you must scavenge for supplies and things necessary to your survival, in an entire space station that can be explored at any time. You will be starved of your options. If you’re not careful, if you don’t seek out your survival — you will become another casualty. On the GZDoom Engine, lighting has been utilized immaculately, and alongside a unique art style, the presentation shows a truly amazing experience. The capabilities of the engine have been incorporated to present realistic, large and complex interior environments, powerful gunplay and the use of dynamic lighting effects, that work in conjunction with items like your flashlight.

Survive. Be prepared. 

BE RESILIENT.
