Press release:
The Rotterdam-based (the Netherlands) indie games publisher SOEDESCO and Murcia-based (Spain) indie games developer SUPERLUMEN, are today very proud and excited to announce that their first-person graphic adventure “Desolatium” (which is based on Lovecraft mythos), is now digitally and physiclally available for consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) for € 29,99/$ 29,99.
Step into the world of DESOLATIUM and experience a first-person graphic adventure as you investigate the strange disappearance of a friend. Play as four different characters and discover a realm teeming with supernatural entities based on Lovecraftian mythos.
As the story unfolds, players will shape the course of events with every choice they make, potentially preventing more murders or avoiding the end of the world, among other possible endings.
UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF A COSMIC HORROR WORLD
Drawing inspiration from the haunting and enigmatic world of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos, DESOLATIUM immerses players in a dimension where they will encounter otherworldly beings, mysterious cults, ritual murders, and chilling revelations. As players embark on this graphic adventure, they will become entangled in a tapestry of cosmic horror that challenges their sanity and compels them to question the very nature of existence itself.
EXPERIENCE AN AWARD-WINNING POINT-AND-CLICK ADVENTURE
DESOLATIUM has been awarded the “Most Innovative Game” by PlayStation and received the “Best Sound” award by Gamepolis. Despite its simple point-and-click mechanics, it delivers a unique and immersive horror experience through its stylish and intricately designed levels inspired by real-world settings. Its eerie atmosphere is further heightened by the exceptional musical score composed by Xabi San Martín, keyboardist of the band La Oreja de Van Gogh.
