In an exciting announcement, publisher SOEDESCO and developer Superlumen have revealed their upcoming point-and-click adventure game, DESOLATIUM, set for release in 2023. This atmospheric experience will be available on multiple platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 , Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Taking inspiration from the captivating mythos of HP Lovecraft, DESOLATIUM presents players with a new take on these age-old tales. This impressive graphical first-person point-and-click adventure seamlessly blends elements of survival horror, promising a spine-chilling experience for fans of the genre. According to the game’s Steam page, players will find themselves entangled in a web of mysterious events, driven by the need to unravel the enigma that surrounds these phenomena. As they delve deeper into the darkness, horror and madness that pervades this desolate world, unexpected discoveries await them. DESOLATIUM invites players to embark on a thrilling Lovecraftian adventure full of puzzles, secret sects and primal deities.
One of the game’s defining features lies in the ability to shape your own destiny through the perspective of four different characters, each with their own unique paths and destinations. Players must be careful, as their decisions have the power to unleash unforeseen consequences, ultimately determining the fate of their journey. Will they be able to prevent further bloodshed, expose the mastermind of the chaos, or perhaps even succumb to the lure of ancient rituals? In DESOLATIUM, the power lies in the player’s hands to chart the course of the adventure. The captivating story begins with the awakening of Carter, who finds himself in an unfamiliar room devoid of memory, even of his own identity. A sense of uneasiness permeates the air, forcing him to run away and discover the truth. As his friends go in search of him, an exciting journey into the unknown follows. What if the myths and creatures that were once believed to be just stories are actually real? DESOLATIUM promises an exceptional visual experience as each level is meticulously crafted by capturing real locations in 360º. The seamless integration of 3D elements further enhances the hyper-realistic graphics, immersing players in an incredibly beautiful world.
To enhance the sense of immersion, DESOLATIUM uses Ambisonic (8D) audio, creating a surround sound effect that envelops players from all directions. This audio technology enhances the sense of presence in a dangerous scenario where danger lurks around every corner. While DESOLATIUM will be available for PC and Mac, players looking for a truly immersive experience can choose to play the game using a virtual reality device, allowing them to dive headfirst into the madness. As the release of DESOLATIUM approaches, fans of the Lovecraft tradition and point and click adventures are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to immerse themselves in this dark, atmospheric world. With its intriguing story, innovative gameplay mechanics, and attention to visual and auditory details, DESOLATIUM promises to be a captivating journey into the heart of madness.
